The John Cage Remixes are music mashups of selected John Cage Compositions for Piano. The original scores were performed by Steffen Schleiermacher, and released in John Cage Complete Piano Music Volume1 & 2, 1998. After listening to the compositions over the years, I realized that mashups of the selected recordings would follow the principles of chance as promoted by Cage.

These remixes were released on Remix Theory in the month of September, 2013. The Mashup John Cage Music for 14 Pianos (Remix) was remixed as part of a longer composition at the Museum El Chopo on September 7, 2013.
