Compiled by Stephen Vitiello, this is a wide panorama of Nam June Paik’s work as musician. Hommage à John Cage (1958-1959), Étude for Pianoforte (1959-1960) and Simple (1961) are irreverent audio-collages exemplary of neodada music and de-structuration in the late 1950s. Prepared Piano for Merce Cunningham (1977) captures an improvised performance by Paik on a de-tuned piano.
