In 1990 John Cage met sho player Mayumi Miyata, who requested he write a piece for the ancient Japanese mouth organ. Cage was deeply impressed by the sound of this instrument and in 1991 he wrote Two3 for sho and five water-filled conch shells – one of the so-called “”Number Pieces”” Cage worked on during the last years of his life. Although the sound of the piece”s structure remains a mystery to rational thinking, it is directly accessible to sensory awareness – especially in the interpretation here played by accordion player Stefan Hussong and sheng virtuoso Wu Wei. Two3 for sho (a Japanese free reed musical instrument) and five water-filled conch shells (1991)
