With Cage² Bertrand Chamayou brings together 20 dance-inspired pieces written for prepared piano by the American composer John Cage (1912-1992). It continues Chamayou’s recorded exploration of Cage’s music, which began with the Erato album Letter(s) to Erik Satie, released in 2023. Juxtaposing the music of Cage and Satie, whose work Cage championed and revived in the mid-20 th century, the album was welcomed by the Guardian as “a gem of a collection”. This album takes its title, Cage², from a stage show, built around 12 pieces for prepared piano written by Cage between 1940 and 1945, which Chamayou and dancer-choreographer Élodie Sicard toured around France. For practical purposes, it was necessary to have four pianos, each ‘prepared’ in different ways, on the stage. The mathematical power of 2 applied to Cage’s name in the show’s title (“Cage squared”) refers both to the complementary presence of two performers – a pianist and a dancer – and to the square formed by the four pianos, each in a corner of the stage.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
