978-981-5129-88-5 (ISBN)
In addition, this book answers the question: What is the relationship between the I Ching, John Cage, and the constructed landscape anyway? The final product of the exploration of this method is a new hypothetical redesign of an existing plaza using Cage’s techniques and a comparative evaluation of the new indeterminate concept and the two pre-existing designs, using the original program objectives as a guide against which the three designs can be judged for effectiveness.
Barry R. Morse, a native of Maine, USA, is an unaffiliated composer, sound artist, and improviser who is interested in the fusion of diverse art forms, especially landscape design and musical composition, the two fields in which he holds graduate-level academic degrees. He is the founder and director of the world’s only improving theremin ensemble, the Etherphonic Theremin Orchestra.
