I will be talking about my new realization: from score interpretation, to field recording, to computer music techniques. Other than the original, this is the first time anyone has realized Williams Mix from the score. A group of my friends contributed the 500 - 600 sounds required to perform the piece. I devised a patch in the PD language to play Williams Mix and perform the scored transformations. I started work on Williams Mix in January 2012 by carefully measuring and noting all of the events on the score - and in the process, discovered the shape and structure of the piece. The original version took a group of Cage's friends nearly one year to complete. It was one of the first pieces for tape - an ambitious project with over 2,000 tape shapes drawn onto a 192-page score and resulting in only 4 minutes and 15 second of music. John Cage composed Williams Mix in 1952 for 8 channels of magnetic tape. Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) in Composition.Jazz, Spontaneous Composition and Improvisation Minor.
