A private performance by John Cage realizing his "Writing For The Fifth Time Through Finnegans Wake" in three ways: reading, singing, and whispering using I-Chin chance-operation: Chinese fortune-telling. Roaratorio is one of the classics of Cage's oeuvre and in Iimura's 15-minute recording, John Cage Performs James Joyce, Cage presents the core of the spoken part of the work. Its composition, like many of his other works, is aided by the I-ChingÉ Like so many of his[Cage's] initiatives, the line between the artwork and its making is blurred, a statement aided and amplified by Iimura's collaboration in its making. |
