John Cage as a musical companion.

At different places on the site, you will be invited to listen to music by John Cage, as an accompaniment to your visit. This will be done through a new window opening that will depict a CD case (see below).

When this new window appears, simply click on it. That will make a small window appear in the top right corner of your screen (see below). The piece that you are about to hear is randomly chosen from five pieces by John Cage. These pieces illustrate of some of the concepts in Barbara Crane's work, as, for example, the role of chance. Also, the selections are designed so as not to disrupt your visit to the site.

Once you have clicked on the CD case, the music should start by itself. It may take a few second to begin. On some internet browsers, the music will have to be started by you by clicking on the "play" button. Once the music starts, you may reduce (not close) this window, which will make it disappear without altering the music. Also, you should probably reduce the window that depicts the CD case, and then carry on with your visit.

Please note that your internet browser might not be equiped with the proper sound reader, in which case it is very simple to go to the Quicktime website and download the necessary program extension. Follow their instructions. It is actually quite simple.
