This week’s program will once again be a conversation between Laura Kuhn and Robert Worby, a composer, sound artist, and broadcaster based in London. Worby was Kuhn’s guest last week, and they focused entirely on his work with Loré Lixenberg and Gregory Rose that resulted in the beautiful 2012 Sub Rosa CD, John Cage Song Books (Solos for Voice 3-92). This week Kuhn and Worby focus on Worby’s work with Felix Carey, Iain Chambers, and Philip Tagney, fellow members of the ensemble known as the Langham Research Centre, resulting in the 2014 Sub Rosa recording entitled John Cage Early Electronic and Tape Pieces, which comprises Cage’s Fontana Mix with Aria (1958), Imaginary Landscape No. 5 (1952), WBAI (1960), Cartridge Music (1960), 0’00” (4’33” No. 2) (1962), and Variations I (1958) – amazing stuff!
