This is a nice composite image of John Cage cooking, from the excellent blog [2024: now long gone, replaced by a page in Russian] of the greatly named J. Henry Chunko [2024: here’s another, Chunko blog that’s still up an running, though not updated since 2007 and doesn’t seem to include any Cage material; oh well].
Mr. Chunko links to this post about a John Cage recording, Empty Words Part IV (1973-78). But I especially like the Lichtensteiger website [updated 2024] that he turned me on to, which has several pages of John Cage material. The recorded Cage readings that strike me in this hearing as unexpected cousins of Kurtz’s monologues in Apocalypse Now, two characters I’ve never connected before, and hope to never do so again.
