Music: styles & genres

Paperback. John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In this book, the author argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill-suited to be represented in the form of a recording.
