£5 ENTRY
Featuring:
CAGE SONG BOOKS
Robert Worby | electronics, Lore Lixenberg, Gregory Rose | vocals
In Cage’s dramatic masterpiece, songs and theatre and electronics mash up Fluxus-like food events, amplified board games, electroacoustic voices, ‘animal heads’ and intense feedback. The performers’ recording of the Song books – the first ever made – is out on Sub Rosa on 5th September, Cage’s 100th Birthday.
“ … to consider the Song Books as a work of art is nearly impossible. Who would dare? It resembles a brothel, doesn’t it?” John Cage
