ORGAN² / ASLSP by John Cage serves as a model for the adaptation CAGES² presented in the sound installation, for cages and birdsong.
Speakers placed into the cages reproduce different sounds of extinct birds, their timing and frequencies are determined by a random composition as in the original. The resulting piece consists of 80 % silence.
