Description
John Cage's For the Birds is a unique and engaging dialogue that explores a wide range of topics. Recorded in France between 1968 and 1978, these conversations were later reconstructed, reedited, and commented upon by Cage himself. The result is a lively collection of questions and answers that showcase Cage's wit and intelligence on subjects such as music, philosophy, literature, and technology. Cage was a multifaceted artist and thinker who shared his ideas with many prominent figures of the time, including Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miro, and Buckminster Fuller. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into his thoughts on art, music, and the world around him. With its typographical celebration of Cage's ideas compiled by himself, For the Birds is an event as much as it is a book. First published in 2000, this edition features 239 pages of insightful conversation and commentary from one of the most influential composers of the 20th century.
