A groundbreaking double LP box set released in 1959 by none other than John Cage, one of the most significant avant-garde composers of the 20th century. This historic masterpiece features a collaboration with pianist David Tudor, Cage’s longtime companion and the foremost interpreter of his music. Titled Indeterminacy, after the post-1950s musical movement spearheaded by Cage, the album explores new possibilities in instrumental and electronic music forms. It presents a striking contrast between Cage’s spoken word, Tudor’s piano, concrete sounds, and swirling electronic tones, embodying the essence of musique concrète. Original U.S. pressing.
