John Cage: Silence: Lectures and Writings (1961–) [EN, HU, CZ, RU, CN]

2 May 2010, dusan

Silence is a collection of essays and lectures Cage wrote during the period from 1939 to 1961.

“In these lectures, scores, and writings, Cage tries, as he says, to find a way of writing that comes from ideas, is not about them, but that produces them. Often these writings include mesostics and essays created by subjecting the work of other writers to chance procedures using the I Ching.”
