The episode features: John Cage, Giusto Pio, Walter Marchetti, Robert Ashley, Horacio Vaggione, Gerhard Rühm, Francesco Messina, Alvin Lucier, David Tudor, Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and Demetrio Stratos.

The episode features: Claire Fontaine, Ellen Fullman, Karl Holmqvist, Terry Riley, Gedalia Tazartes, Meredith Monk, John Cage, David Rosenboom, Allen Ginsberg and Fred Frit.
