John Cage & David Tudor in 1972
This is an interview with John Cage & David Tudor, conducted in
French and English.
This particular interview was purportedly recorded
on May 29, 1972, a time at which both John Cage and David Tudor were on a
European tour featuring performances in London, Bremen, Paris and other
European cities. Cage talks about the influence that Henry David
Thoreau, Marcel Duchamp, and others have had on his own artistic output.
Works discussed include Cage’s “Mureau” and David Tudor’s
“Rainforest,” which were performed simultaneously during their 1972
European concerts. Another pairing of the two composer’s works, Cage’s
“62 Mesostics Re Merce Cunningham,” and Tudor’s “Untitled” is also
discussed. Towards the end of the program David Tudor talks about his
decision to play the piano less, and instead focus on his own electronic
music.
