The Complete John Cage Edition Volume 40

John Cage's artwork, "49 Waltzes for the Five Boroughs", appeared in the 
October 6, 1977 /Rolling Stone/ magazine --- a gala issue celebrating 
their move to New York.

He constructed his "waltzes" through chance operations as a series of 49 
multi-colored triangles superimposed on the Hagstrom map of New York 
City. Later, he published a score for "performer(s) or listener(s) or 
record maker(s)" with the exact street locations depicted by each point 
of the triangle.

Cage was an inveterate New Yorker. After Cage's death in 1992, Don 
Gillespie, his long time colleague, decided to celebrate his memory by 
videotaping each of the 147 locations indicated in the score. An 
impartial rotating camera was used to capture every location, the 
durations of each determined by the I-Ching.

The result is a joyful, Cagean celebration of the sounds and the, 
sometimes unexpected, sights of New York City --- and a time capsule 
travelog of how it appeared in the years 1994-95. It is a combination of 
spirited and zen-like visuals accompanied by the dynamic and musical 
soundtrack of the city's natural environment.
