A fascinating choice of subject matter for this one. Cornelius Cardew was an experimental composer who worked with Stockhausen and did a considerable amount to introduce the likes of LaMonte Young and John Cage to English audiences in the Sixties. A prominent and engaged Marxist, Cardew was killed in the early Eighties by a hit and run driver and there's still conjecture that the Secret Service may have had a hand in it.
