Performed by Fabio Rambelli (shō)
Programme Note:
One⁹ by John Cage (1991) is a long composition (more than 90 minutes) for solo shō that the composer created soon before he died. It is an excellent demonstration of Cage’s own musical aesthetics: the attention to the general soundscape framed in a rigorous structure that however leaves open the intervention of chaos and randomness, as well as his passion for Japan. In this concert we present one segment of the entire composition.

Music and the Non-Human
2024 Concert Series, Concert 3
21 July 2024, Kyushu University, Faculty of Design, Acoustic Research Centre
Series Concept:
This year's concert series ‘Music and the Non-Human’ is part of a three-year research project that draws on Japanese philosophy and aesthetics rooted in premodern, non-Western ontologies to interpret the relationship between human and non-human sounds from a new perspective.
The composers explore their relationship with nature and spiritual elements, drawing inspiration from pre-modern philosophy and nō theatre works. Inspiration from nature, field recordings and contemporary music with traditional instruments intersect to define meaningful ways of creating, listening to, sharing (and discussing) music in unstable times.
