Background: Cage On Original Instruments! The first modern recording to utilise Cage’s specified 78-rpm test tone records played on variable-speed phono turntables and 78-rpm records Cage’s percussion works are among his most historically important. After 42 Volumes in Mode’s Cage Edition, Mode is releasing the first volume dedicated to his percussion music.

Percussion Group Cincinnati is particularly respected for its knowledge of and experience with the entire range of Cage’s music, having made tours and festival appearances with him on a number of occasions in Europe and in America, and having had pieces created by Cage especially for the Group.

Volume 1 consists of the complete Imaginary Landscapes 1-5 (1939-52) and Credo in Us (1942). Some of these works’ revolutionary features include the use of radios and phonograph recordings - anticipating the concept of sampling. The actual records and turntable specified in the score were located and used for this recording.
