Today I will do an experiment: I play BAZTERRAK (Enrike Hurtado)’s LOOPS, 1 hour 20 minutes music “installation” from the year 2008, and at the same time I will read John Cage’s statement on EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC from his book SILENCE, that was printed in the brochure accompanying Geroge Avakian’s recording of my twenty-five-year retrospective concert at Town Hall, New York in 1958.

…. What is the balance between music and my speech so that you can understand the meaning of the text I am reading and at the same time you can enjoy music and even its detail. Is this really possible? Or our concentration works only for one target switching the focus between my speech and music?

Note: For those who want to listen to Bazterrak’s loops in plain format without my reading, here it is. Loops part I (ca. 30 inutes) and Loops part II (ca. 50 minutes). Enjoy!
