Essays on and around Freeman Etudes, Fontana Mix, Aria
metaCage investigates the musical practice of John Cage in four essays written by current ORCiM Fellows. Three works (Fontana Mix, Aria and Freeman Etudes) serve as threads that link the contributions, and a CD containing performances of these works, by the ORCiM Fellows, is included with the volume. The essays embrace both compositional practice, as viewed by musicologically-oriented performers Juan Parra Cancino and Mieko Kanno, and Cage's aesthetic framework, explored by practice-based musicologists Magnus Andersson and William Brooks.
ORCiM Series
This series of four books explicitly "zooms in" on studies that take artistic practice as their point of departure and deals with questions and challenges that arise from that practice. With this publication series, the Orpheus Institute helped develop a discipline-specific discourse in the field of artistic research in music, which at the same time acted as a springboard for future research in this young but fascinating area.
