Ecstasy Mule vs John Cage vs Ecstasy Mule

Ecstasy Mule vs. John Cage vs. Ecstasy Mule is a game of luck in which there will be a winner. It is an aleatoric piece as opposed to an indeterminate one, using elements of the Cage compositions Indeterminacy, Music Walk, Water Walk, 4'33", Variation #1, Imaginary Landscape #5 and Radio Music, as well as some other chance determined sound sourcings. It was created in response to a request by Miguel Fransconi for a chamber-music-from-another-planet take on Cage, like watching two friends (in this instance Kurt Gottschalk and Len Siegfried) in their living room playing music they can't help but play.
