A double LP set with gatefold cover of John Cage performing his "Empty Words Part IV" at the Römerkeller, Cologne, on September 4, 1984. By this point in this piece, there are just collections of phonemes, no recognisable words. Truly extreme stuff. The cover is overall dominated by white, text in black, with a photography of John Cage on the back. Inside left there's an extract of the work. Inside right there's a photography of the first manuscript of Empty Words Part IV. Recorded at Römerkeller, Cologne, 4.9.1984. Empty Words was composed between 1973 and 1978. Empty Words Part IV was premiered at "WCH WAY" during the autumn in 1975. Total time: 150'00"
