stewing wordy links -- emptying cage'd curiosities

spurred by splendid post of empty words (pte. iv) at that closet of curiosities & in response to, what's more &further since i haven't seen it around the 'sphere despite its more or less acquirable nature (my own nature inclined to sharing) i've gleefully placed a zip of cage's (in)famous italian reading of empty words at teatro lirico in milan '77. i'll spare commentary since so many many many things have already been said about this jaw droppingly incredible recording (see links below, video too). but while at it please do tune out yr ears from those slapdash jabs of 'unlistenablity' -- noxious claims ill informances.. . the milan recording rich absorbing one of the most i've you'll ever.. .

before share, some favorites for casual listing as i love to gather & think of this space as linking space primary hyper space log of web travels & pointer to the interesting things -- so, reviewing the internets of cagean bits'n'pieces, some places pieces of tender bits for stewing : : a segment of that great 88 filreis syllabus i keep web happening upon, wiki calls this a 'comprehensive' list of link but methinks not, the epc cage page of course, & the requisite ubu hubbub see snatched mesostics/video at present!, also the youtube burgeoning esp the masterful margaret leng tan performance & the recently viral fmu video of that secret water walk, the fabulous archived naropa collection & even better radiOM too, & if you've major research or a wanting inbox those of silence surely murmur with frequency(! & really, have you played yet with the fontana mixer? oughta!) but then, more than enough flighty lines, trailheads for wondering for now.. .

also, mention as i will my engagement thorough, my poem my Dear coUntess, the composition below inciter of sound for the fledgling web project video poem housed still at link above as mentioned below. composed from these dots trajectories, twelve precise as are my reading roles, a perfect score for finding. in the garage, i carefully assembled "faustroll's flute" placed notes according to : :

(as they say) -- 日々是好日 .. .

also, as i've been wandering finally had a chance to catch this marvelous interview -- really worth watching -- already just having watched i'd picked up the wake again as i've too only excerpted danced around picking at pieces here & there never all thru. something to think about.. . for now, enjoy, for the third time : : via ubuweb
