One of John Cage's more infamous recordings, this disc contains 90 one-minute stories read by the composer himself with musical accompaniment in the form of randomly selected excerpts from recordings of his Concert for Piano and Orchestra and 'Fontana Mix' provided by Tudor.
Originally issued in 1959 as Folkways FT 3704.
"The idea behind Indeterminacy was, like many Cagean ideas, essentially simple and audaciously original. Cage read 90 stories, his speed determined by the story's length. In another room, beyond earshot of Cage, David Tudor, pianist and veteran Cage collaborator, performed miscellaneous selections from Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra and played pre-recorded tape from Cage's Fontana Mix."
