Performances from Aaron Dilloway, C. Lavender, and John Wiese, in celebration of the Rozart Mix record release.
-----------------------------------------------
Realized by former Wave Farm Resident Artist Aaron Dilloway, the 2021 Rozart Mix installation at the John Cage Trust was an expansive, multi-level, visual, and sonic work, with collaborating tape players including Rosie Actor-Engel, Twig Harper, C. Lavender, Quintron, Robert Turman, and John Wiese.

In keeping with Cage's score, a minimum of 88 tape loops were employed. The tape loops ran on 12 reel-to-reel decks positioned in various rooms and floors of the John Cage Trust building, winding up stairs and around furniture. Visitors, who registered in advance for scheduled indoor sessions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, were immersed in a kinetic and audible drawing. Outdoors, visitors were welcomed with hot cider for an durational stereo mix of the installation, which was also streamed online at wavefarm.org/listen. A live FM radio broadcast took place on Wave Farm's WGXC 90.7-FM from 4 - 6 p.m.

As in the first performance of Rozart Mix in 1965 at Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, the content on the tape loops included field recordings as well as voices; however, in this new iteration, the sound materials were sourced from the over 100 volunteer programmers who contribute programming on Wave Farm’s WGXC 90.7-FM. The event served as a culminating celebration of WGXC's 10th Anniversary year.
