  Engine 27 and composer Larry Austin invite all composers, musicians =

  Saturday, March 22, 2003, marks the 50th anniversary of the premiere =
performance of John Cage's Williams Mix (1951-53) for eight monaural =
magnetic tapes, the first octophonic tape music composition in the =
world, created and performed with eight speakers surrounding the =
audience. To celebrate this historic piece and its first performance 50 =
years ago, Austin will create the Williams [re]Mix[...stallation], a =
continuously performing octophonic sound installation to be installed at =
Engine 27, implemented with Austin's recently developed Williams =
[re]Mix[er] (1997-2001), an interactive I Ching composing program. The =
program, in operation, creates ever-newer versions and realizations of =
Cage's original work, calling on a recorded sound library of hundreds of =
sounds. The program's functionality is modeled on the compositional =
processes used by Cage to create his Williams Mix, these processes =
extrapolated and applied from Austin's analyses of Cage's 192-page =
score, his sketches, and the eight monaural, analog tapes for the piece. =

  Since first starting the project, Austin has continued to collect =
sounds for the recorded library of sounds (ranging from 20 to 120 =
seconds each) according to Cage's six sound categories of city (A), =
country (B), electronic (C), manually produced (D), wind produced (E), =
and small sounds (F).=20

  From February 14 to March 16, 2003, everyone is invited to upload =
soundfiles, via the web for inclusion in the library to be used during =
the new multiple Williams [re]Mix[ed] realizations to be played during =
the installation.=20
