FTV 193 John Cage
This week on From The Vault we profile one of the great innovative thinkers and visionary geniuses of the 20th Century…. and the man who helped create the field of modern music: John Cage.
We invited KPFK Los Angeles’ Global Village music host and admirer of John Cage’s life and work John Schneider to help us navigate through some of the remarkable Cage recordings contained in the Pacifica Radio Archives, including the only known recording of his “45 minutes for a Speaker” performance. Schneider also introduces The Pacifica Radio Archive’s recording of John Cage speaking about his collaborations with artists such as Robert Rauschenberg (recorded in 1965 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art), and John Cage and Morton Feldman from a 1966 conversation recorded on Pacifica Radio’s New York Station WBAI.
From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
