Radio Happenings I-V

In 1966-67, radio station WBAI in New York City invited composers John Cage and Morton Feldman to make 5 one-hour radio conversations. Unscripted and improvised, they were free to talk about whatever they wished. The fascinating conversations cover music, politics, sociology, current events, the arts and more. This 224-page hardcover book comes with a DVD of the complete 5-hours of audio from the radio broadcasts, mastered from the source closest to the original tapes. This is the first time the audio has been officially released. With a forward by composer Christian Wolff. The DVD also contains a bonus slideshow of Cage scholar James Pritchett's text on the intriguing history of the audio to the Radio Happenings.
