Wave Farm artist-in-residence Andrea-Jane Cornell (Montreal) hosts live from Wave Farm in Acra. The program will feature her contribution to 120 Hours for John Cage: InonoutonInoutonin, which will include a collaboration with participants from the workshop Score Workshop: indeterminacy, chance, improvisation taking place earlier that day.
Writes Cornell, InonoutonInoutonin is a performed "comprovisation" inspired by Cage's early work in the radio studio when he worked as a dance accompanist for Bonnie Bird in Seattle. The school had a radio studio in a small outhouse building. Cage would broadcast to the dance theatre, it was during this time that Cage discovered the radio's potential as a tool for composition. He used the broadcast studio equipment (microphones and variable speed turntables) to make recordings that he used in compositions such as Imaginary Landscape No.1. InonoutonInoutonin also takes inspiration from Cage's use of radio signals as compositional material that provide an indeterminate sonic result that is a mix between recorded music, spoken word and static. My intention is to use the broadcast studio as a compositional tool and employ broadcast technology as an extended instrument that expands both time and space of the sonic materials.
