** condition: NM/NM ** One of the two great releases by John Cage on the superb Nova Musicha series on Cramps Records curated by Walter Marchetti and Juan Hidalgo. Beautiful piano pieces performed by Cage himself recorded on a rainy day, March 7 1976, at Center for Contemporary Music, Mills College, Oakland, California by Blue Gene Tyranny and produced by David Behrman.
"The music is a very meditative, almost ethereal solo piano performance by Cage on a wonderfully-sounding piano. He lets the brilliant harmonics of the notes ring out following somewhat exotic progressions almost absent-mindedly. Truely an minimal performance that has more in common with ambient music than say, indeterminism, but it does have a bit of that as well in the progression of the pieces. There is also that wandering aspect of Satie that is, of course, prevalent throughout the recording. Not a cheap imitation, but a rich tribute."
