I just want to add:
a surface
As in...Thanks Brian. I just want to add:<br /><br />a surface<br />As intense and inquisitive as that of the sea.<br />– John Ashbery, “Written in the Dark”<br /><br />-- also an important part of my score, much like the prospect of the room itself, which rehearses within itself something of the tensions that ultimately animate the action and experience of the piece. The simultaneity of Adam's piece gives an opportunity to see the roominess of the room from the outside, to give an external point of reference to the question, but the beauty of an idea like "room" or "sea" is that it's not a ruled space, only sort of like a horizon -- whatever happens just sort of tilts the azimuth. This is true enough, I think, whether Doug was doing Adam's piece, or simply eating breakfast (which he was also doing) -- often a great thing about Adam's work of this kind is you're not sure it was a piece until you find out later.Mark Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148860352137427233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-12330507695619690732010-12-19T19:07:31.010-05:002010-12-19T19:07:31.010-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mark Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00148860352137427233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28154988.post-89412885918003338942010-12-19T12:17:32.412-05:002010-12-19T12:17:32.412-05:00glad you enjoyed the show brian. i will confess t...glad you enjoyed the show brian. i will confess to the same reaction to Doug's eating till i remembered that he was performing a piece!Barry chabalanoreply@blogger.com
