Roger Reynolds Talks

Conversation Between John Cage and Roger Reynolds in Toronto

Part 1 46:33

Part 2 44:12

As an aspect of Robert Aitken’s epic New Music Concerts in Toronto which endured for many years, Bob would sometimes arrange for “side events” such as this extended conversation on 29 November 1984 between John Cage and Roger Reynolds. Bob introduced them and they had a cordial, wide-ranging discussion: macrobiotic cooking, the sources of his creativity, overcoming illness, shared experiences, and so on. "COMPOSERS IN CONVERSATION"
