> John Cage Continues to Influence
> The works of John Cage, zen master of the musical avant-garde,  
> inventor of the prepared piano, chance operator, mushroom hunter,  
> macrobiotic chef, and arguably the most influential composer of the  
> 20th Century continue their blissful roaratorio into the 21st  
> century. Gustavo Matamoros, curator of the 19th Annual South Miami- 
> based Subtropics Experimental Music & Sound Arts Festival, has  
> assembled a massive and impressive festival and mini-retrospective  
> of Cage's work in conjunction with Merce in Miami, a two-week  
> celebration of the 50-year collaboration between John Cage and  
> choreographer Merce Cunningham at the Carnival Center for the  
> Performing Arts. The festival explores Cage's enduring influence in  
> the field of dance, his central presence in the 'New York School'  
> of experimental music and his involvement in the 'happenings' of  
> the Fluxus and Intermedia movements. A number of brilliant  
> performers and composers are lined up for this festival, including  
> Christian Wolff! , Joan La Barbara, Takehisa Kosugi, David Behrman,  
> bassist Robert Black, percussionist Jan Williams, and composer John  
> King. In addition to new works from South Florida-based composers,  
> pianists Helena Bugallo and Amy Williams will play 4-hand  
> transcriptions of Conlon Nancarrow's massively polyrhythmic player  
> piano etudes and 36 pianists will perform Erik Satie's legendary 18  
> hour hypnosis inducing 'Vexations.' As if that wasn't enough,  
> original Fluxus members Larry Miller and Alison Knowles will  
> headline the festival's Flux Fair on the sands of Miami Beach,  
> featuring Miller's 'Flux Olympics' and Nam June Paik's 'A Piano  
> Oddyssey (a trojan horse)' in which a piano will be pushed straight  
> out to sea. - Zach Layton
