Cage: Percussion Works Vol. 1 – Empty Words Percussion Ensemble

John Cage and Zen, two elements that can hardly be separated. The absolutely personal use of rhythms combined with a stylistic rigor typical of Far Eastern music blend harmoniously in the wonderful interpretation of the Empty Words Ensemble which is voted from the first to the last track to recreate the fullness and the sonic void that continuously go to to compose these fascinating and perhaps among the most accessible works of the great American composer. It is difficult not to get caught up in some rhythms, just as difficult it is not to be carried away by the energy of this composer who has been able to completely change the way of making and conceiving the music of the ‘900.
