"I am quite old now, and so when I have the opportunity to do something, I take it immediately, rather than hesitating, as I don't have much time left"..John Cage said this about his first and only film, produced the year he died. He started to address the perception of emptiness and, at the same time, the random quality of what happens in a prescribed place. 103 for Large Orchestra runs parallel to the film, without directly relating. It is 1200 random operations devised by a computer, performed with the West German Radio Symphony of Cologne.
