JOHN CAGE UNCAGED: SONG BOOKS
Manchester RNCM
We went to see this John Cage event at the Royal Northern College of Music. When we first walked in it seemed a little surreal, but sometimes things that initially seem strange turn out to be the most interesting! We went to the event with no expectations or idea of what it would be like.
From what I understand both staff and students took the challenge upon themselves, to take John Cages scores and interpret them in whatever they felt was appropriate. We had a look through a copy of his notebooks and the graphical score were really interesting. It was intriguing that each notation looked different and was shown in a different way. When thinking about people interpreting in a different way it got me thinking about how this could be explored in a different way, i.e. a moving image piece.
Here are a few images that a took on the night of some of the performances:
