description

The first album from MoMA/MoMA PS1 Records featuring four artists' response to John Cage's statement "there will never be silence," curated and with a text by David Platzker and Jenny Schlenzka. Featuring compositions by Sabisha Friedberg, Yasunao Tone, Kevin Beasley and Lizzi Bougatsos. "This record pays homage to John Cage, and to an exhibition presented at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, from October 12, 2013, to June 22, 2014, titled 'There Will Never Be Silence: Scoring John Cage's 4'33.' In 1954, in a letter to a friend, Cage wrote that his so-called 'silent piece,' 4'33" (1952), 'is not actually silent (there will never be silence...)'...For the first album from MoMA/MoMA PS1 Records we asked four artists to produce contemporary answers to Cage's statement "there will never be silence." -- curators statement. Each album features unique scratches on the jacket's front cover.
