INTRO: THE 20th CENTURY AMERICAN COMPOSER JOHN CAGE built an
artistic legacy that's still influential more than two decades
after his death in 1992. Cage took great delight in subverting
the aesthetic orthodoxies of his day and liberating himself and
fellow artists to break rules and create something entirely new
-- the very definition of avant-garde art.
If you've been listening to Hearts of Space for awhile, you've
probably noticed that the music we bring you spans a wide range
of cultural time and place, and seems to come from very different
concerns: a contemplative music, as BRIAN ENO famously put it in
his Ambient Manifesto of 1978, "that creates calm and a space to
think."
Yet, like the so-called "Venn diagram" that visually reveals the
common area where seemingly different entities overlap, avant-garde
and post-classical "New Music" have long had a taste for ambient
sound, and many avant-garde composers were deeply influenced by
Cage and his unorthodox techniques of creating music, including
his famous piece consisting of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence
-- perhaps the ultimate statement of ambient space.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we explore the overlap
between avant-garde and Ambient music, on a program called
IN A LANDSCAPE.
