Excerpt from the demo version of John Cage Reflections that combines synthesized spoken word based on a 1972 Cage interview with an excerpted 1965 recording of Cartridge Music performed by Cage and David Tudor. The interview was published in a 1974 book with the title Reflections of a Progressive Composer on a Damaged Society and includes personal reflections on indeterminacy as an expander of life experience, music making with friends as a model for practical anarchy, the proper use of musical freedom, participatory music (music of the many), and the future of music.
