A video dedicated to John Cage. A grandiose documentation composed to the last detail. Various people (see right column) comment on their encounters with Cage and the composer's influence on them. Naturally Cage himself has something to say; and not merely in response to the comments. The excerpts from concerts that are shown, emphasizing how frequently his works are performed and reevaluated, are visually endowed by a stunning camera work. In addition, references are drawn between Cage's music and meteorology, the study of chaos and other scientific discourses. A fascinating, artistic documentation.
