Imaginary Landscape No. 1 is a composition by the American composer John Cage. Written in 1939 at the Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington, the work is the first in Cage’s series of five Imaginary Landscape pieces.[1]
Scored for four performers who play a muted piano and cymbal as well as two variable-speed phono turntables with amplifiers, Imaginary Landscape No. 1 is important for being one of the first examples of electro-acoustic music.[2][3][1]
The work was premiered on March 24, 1939 at Cornish College by John Cage, Xenia Cage, Doris Dennison, and Margaret Jansen.[2]
