Album Description The idea behind Indeterminacy was, like many Cagean ideas, essentially simple and audaciously original. Cage read 90 stories, his speed determined by the story's length. In another room, beyond earshot of Cage, David Tudor, pianist and veteran Cage collaborator, performed miscellaneous selections from Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra and played pre-recorded tape from Cage's Fontana Mix. The resulting collaboration is an astounding piece of "music," and a fine introduction to the innovations of John Cage. "A wonderfully curious way to hear stories." - Stereophile Similar CDs

CD ReviewsWhat better lecture on indeterminacy in modern music? Dr. Harry Smallenburg | 07/25/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "If there is one thing John Cage taught us of open-minds, it was "just listen, expect nothing" and I can only add to the praise of this work and recording because, just as it should do, it fulfils different things for different people. It is entirely in keeping with Cage's philosophical vantage and easily his most approachable and oft-times amusing and thought-provoking work. Cage always reminds me I can still be astonished...and without that, life would lose something, I'm sure." Speechless. Dr. Harry Smallenburg | 09/22/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love it!! I thought I could only listen to it once or twice. But it has never left my CD player. The Inside notes are excellent on this CD. This is one of John Cage's best works!! Highly recomended to the Curious. Every fan of John Cage or classical music must own this CD!!!" A Landmark of American Art DJ Rix | NJ USA | 09/15/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "How fresh this composition is after all these years. The wonderful potpourri of stories, parables & anecdotes recited at various paces according to Cage's aleatoric score, with surprising bursts of sound from David Tudor. A landmark of American art & a perfect place to begin an exploration of Cage's philosophy.
