And it's Birdcage Vs. HPSCHD—two original compositions from that great American musical inventor and electronic musician John Cage. Both pieces feature classic Cage components like chance-controlled melody and rhythm, and environmental sounds. But who will come out on top? A one-hour piece featuring tapes from aviaries, oral fragments of Henry David Thoreau's Walden, and ambient street noise, where a computer randomly selects which sound will be played? Or, a three-hour bombastic show of musical intensity, featuring seven amplified harpsichords playing computer-generated versions of Mozart, among other composers, mixed in with the sounds of 51 trumpets' off-key blasts, overlaid with images and colours from slides of space borrowed from NASA.
