2011 re-issue on Ampersand of the 1990 2CD set with the legendary extreme live vocal performance by the composer in Milano in 1977, which caused quite a riot. With slipcase.
condition (disc/cover): NM / EX
With slipcase. The third section of the Empty Words cycle, in which Thoreau's Journal has been reduced to words stripped of their grammatical connections - language as acoustic event, semantics suspended. The Ampersand edition documents a live Italian performance, situating this most radical of text scores, by John Cage, within a specific time and place.
