Atlas Eclipticalis and Winter Music

In his landmark pieces Atlas Eclipticalis and Winter Music the composer John Cage generated notes as projections of Becvar’s starmaps or as tracings of irregularities in the paper he was writing on. 
On 19 January 2019, on the cusp of the completely arbitrary star signs Capricorn and Aquarius nine musicians performed the complete Atlas Eclipticalis and Winter Music simultaneously in the Amsterdam Orgelpark.

The 80 minutes flew by.

Audience and musicians were totally captivated in our own space and time.
