Synopsis

An account of an intergenerational project that used my experience of The Scratch Orchestra (1969 - 72) to work with a younger generation of people. We started by doing two performances of John Cage's magnum opus 'Song Books'. Then we worked with the improvisation rites in Cornelius Cardew's collective work 'Nature Study Notes'. This book documents the collective process and the performances. It also includes assessment by the participants and an afterglow in which Carole Finer and I were invited to do workshops and a performance in Documenta 14 in Athens. Includes photography and artwork along with textual material and links to online audio recordings.

"I've read a very important book. For what my opinion is worth, I strongly recommend this reading!" Proposte Sonore Giovanni Antognozzi, ITALY
