John Cage – Radio Music

About Radio Music:

Faust’s Jean-Hervé, Zappi and Steve Pittis recorded their interpretations of Radio Music independently in 2007 and 2010. They all felt it important to keep to the score as much as possible, given the obvious ambiguities of having to adapt it from Cage’s original 1956 score. These recordings were released as a 10” vinyl EP and sold out instantly, so here they are on CD format with some extras. During “lockdown”, it was obviously impossible to get together and perform, so an “ensemble” version culled from our takes has been mixed and is included here. 

Also included is a version of 4’33” recorded live at the amphitheatre in Pompeii. This is a bonus track, as it’s obviously not part of the Radio Music sessions. For this reason, it is presented on the sleeve as a “penalty track” in anticipation of the inevitable criticism it will encourage.

The CD is packaged in a mini-LP sleeve, with printed inner sleeve too.  

FINALLLY!!! IN STOCK AND SHIPPING.

N.B. SINCE THE ACT OF MASS SUICIDE THAT IS BREXIT, ORDERS TO EU COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE. WE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING ASKED TO DECLARE A LOW/FALSE VALUE. WE WILL NOT DO THIS, AS IT LEADS TO ITEMS BEING SEIZED AND RETURNED, SOMETIMES AT OUR EXPENSE. IT’S JUST THE WAY IT IS AND WE KNOW IT’S A SHIT SANDWICH FOR OUR LOYAL EU CUSTOMERS, BUT WE AT DIRTER DIDN’T VOTE FOR THIS BLOODBATH.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU ARE IN THE E.U.

Please note: orders to Europe may now be subject to additional VAT and import taxes. These are the responsibility of the customer and will be claimed by your government before the parcel is delivered. All international orders should also ideally provide a valid phone number with the order. DO NOT ASK US TO REFUND, IF YOU GET CHARGED IMPORT DUTY.

Don’t blame us, we didn’t vote for this insane debacle…
