Archetype Press: Cage on Cage: Typographic Notations on the Writings of John Cage. No.9/Fall / Vance Studley, editor ; Cage J., 1993

 Item
Identifier: CC-27067-27541
Scope and Contents

In the introduction, Studley writes, "...each designer chose a short passage from Cage's selected writings containing the composer's views on music. Each selection was then studied for possibilities of wordplay, subrosa meaning, graphic and musical n visual and aural texture, white spaces as examples of tacit in music, intonation and cacophony of sound. Solutions are based on the individual's 'reading' of the text but shaped as a typographer would arrange letters, words, spaces on a page..." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
