“It began with the word deconstruction, which was “merely a pun” (Cage’s phrase) on John Cage’s construction. Originally, it was the title of a sound recycling piece of mine, written to accompany his ‘Perilous Night.’ Later on, the word inspired the idea of a collection of “deconstructed” works of Satie and Cage — works reinvented by unusual means, a respectful tribute to the two composers.” – T. D.
