Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta MUSIC FOR JOHN CAGE (2003) audio cd
One. Just one. And simple. A simple is simple. Even dumb. As regards intake we must be a sponge; as regards output, a laser.

MUSIC FOR JOHN CAGE is a collection
of pieces created by Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta dedicated
to John Cage, his friend, during his life time. There are four
pieces: Music for Frogs and Crickets, Cage, Sun and Mesostic.
Music for Frogs and Crickets, ellaborated with sounds recorded
in Brazilian forests, was composed in 1984. The score was structured
on a motet by Guillaume de Machault (1300-1377). Cage, dated
of 1986 was composed using a virtual structure of sound transformations
on urban sounds recorded during a whole day in Lisbon. Sun, with
two movements, was created in 1987 after the scientific data
of the sound waves emmited by the Sun. And Mesostic, dated of
1991, a few months before Cage's disappearance, works with the
air of his breath. These pieces were performed at the MART Rovereto
and Trento Contemporary Art Museum, in Italy.
