John Cage composed the piece "Radio Music" in 1956. It is scored in 8 parts (A-H) with each part to be
performed either individually or together with other parts as an ensemble. The performers follow a score
that is a sequence of radio frequency tunings and silent parts. Obviously, each time the piece is performed,
it yields a different end result. We present here 4 solo versions on this limited edition 10" EP. The works
are performed by members of German legends, Faust and by Steve Pittis' project, Band Of Pain. All tracks
were recorded live in the studio with absolutely no overdubs.
The 10" vinyl EP is packaged in a superb gloss laminated sleeve and is strictly limited to 500 copies.
EP released in 2010
