About work

An interpretation of John Cage's Lecture on Nothing. The text has got a graphic layout similar to a twelve row score, or a twelve-track structure of a sound editing programme. Each row of the text is linked to a sound track played in one of the speakers which are placed in the space in a similar arrangement to small orchestra instruments. The recorded text sounds from the speaker at different times, precisely according to Cage's record.
