Interdeterminacy (for John Cage)

Interdeterminacy is a large scale graphic notation for a music performance comprised of hundreds of mushroom spores collected about an hour north of Los Angeles where Cage was born. Cage, who was an avid mushroom collector, often quipped that music and mushrooms have nothing to do with one another except for the fact that they appear next to each other in the dictionary. This work combines Cage’s interests in mushrooms and music and is intended to be interpreted through a series of performances accompanying the exhibition of the work.
