Marc Ribot's Caged Funk:John Cage looped, hi-jacked, detourned, and scratch mixed

Rose Live Music
Brooklyn, NY

ADVANCE TIX HAVE SOLD OUT BUT MORE WILL BE RELEASED DAY OF SHOW WHEN DOORS OPEN AT 7PM.

In rehearsing for a performance of John Cage's 'Sonata for Two Voices' (1933) at Issue Project Room last winter, guitarist Marco Cappelli and Marc Ribot made a strange discovery. The two guitarists overcame the gap between the rhythmic complexity of the piece and Mr. Ribot's somewhat limited sight reading skills by 'looping' measures: constantly repeating each difficult passage until it became easier. It was in this way they became aware of a strange fact about John Cage's music that would have probably surprised (and possibly dismayed) the composer himself: John Cage was one funky dude. The resulting project, "Caged Funk", is a further exploration of this little known aspect the late composer's work.
This is an open rehearsal/performance.
This work was commissioned by and will be premiered at the Ludwigsburg Festival 2010.
