John Cage/Aaron Dilloway – Rozart Mix

In stock

$22.00

“So excited and honored to finally release the vinyl document of my realization of JOHN CAGE’s ROZART MIX.  Back in the extremely strange year of 2020, I was approached by Wave Farm and John Cage Trust to stage a performance of this seldomly performed piece that Cage wrote for Alvin Lucier. The piece is comprised of 88 tape loops (one for each key of a piano), spliced together with multiple non-musical sounds played back on 12 reel to reel machines.

In January of 2021 I spent a wonderful and intense week researching ROZART MIX at John Cage Trust at Bard College.  It was the first place I had visited during the pandemic.  On October 23, 2021, with the assistance of Rose Actor-Engel, Twig Harper, C. Lavender, Quintron, Robert Turman, and John Wiese, I presented a 6 hour performance of ROZART MIX at the John Cage Trust.  Six hours of 12 individually amplified reel to reel tape machines, placed around multiple floors of a house,  playing 88 tape loops spliced together by 5 to 175 splices, created an overwhelming and joyous environment of cacophonous sound. The performance culminated with John Wiese touching a frog for the first time as the final sound croaked through the speakers.  The frog contact was just one of many magical moments that occurred during the preparation and presentation of the piece.  I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed performing it.  Special thanks to Galen Joseph-Hunter of Wave Farm and Laura Kuhn & Emy Martin of John Cage Trust for trusting me with this material.”-Aaron Dilloway, May 2024
