Wanting to take Cage ( who would have been 100 years old this year) to the streets, the artis t finds ways to democratise the many makers, the conductor, the compos er, the performer, the spectator, the on-looker, the bystander, the pa sser-by, as equals within her participatory score. To create her score , and a film, the artist made a sonic bicycle, like a moving instrumen t, spiked with electric guitar strings, capturing street sounds, and s ounds of strings hitting playing cards, as it is performed trilling th rough places of affect within the city. This project in process alters Cage’s “prepared piano” into seven sonic bicycle processions, a ”music of change” thriving through seven global metropoles as the bondage of a freed geography, beyond all boundaries.\n«Music for (pr epared) bicycles» (after John Cage & Marcel Duchamp) / Part One : Bom bay was co-produced with Clarkhouse Initiative Bombay. Part Two & Part Three of “Music for (prepared) bicycles” will be taking place in New York and Cape Town, South Africa.\nThe technique of the inserted p laying cards translates John Cage’s ‘prepared piano’ (1938), on which he wrote many compositions, to the bicycle. Cage once said that the future of music was electronic sound. Caecilia Tripp’s inspirat ion comes from Cage’s writing, and she makes relation between these and the vernacular culture practiced and invented by teenagers in soci ally disregarded suburbs around theworld.\nTo begin «Music for (prepa red) bicycles» in Bombay mingles further with John Cage’s entanglem ent with David Thoreau’s anarchistic Act and philosophy of Civil Dis obedience which as well was inspiring Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. to call out for people’s power as a means of change.\n” Since the theory of conventional music is a set of laws exclusively co ncerned with ’musical’ sounds, having nothing to say about noises, it had been clear from the beginning that what was needed was a music based on noise, on noise’s lawlessness. Having made such an anarchi c music, we were able later to include in its performance even so-call ed musical sounds. – We need first of all a music in which not only are sounds just sounds, but in which people are just people, not subje ct, that is, to laws established by any one of them, even if he is ’ the composer’ or ’the conductor.’ Finally we need a music which no longer prompts talk of audience participation, for in it the divisi on between performers and audience no longer exists: a music made by e veryone.”
