Matt from Springfield:

Must be a guitar, its "sustenance" sounding out. Great subtle percussion in here as well!

Good evening Bethany and aficionados!

I was thinking it sounds so Bang on a Canny that I'm surprised it's not Bang on a Can.

...I sometimes think: the 20th Century stands out in contrast to the rest of History in the Arts ; what will the 21st mean - ?? - the denouement of the 20th ? Or was the 20th this unique Storm...

This piece is all mavericky.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:33pm
Matt from Springfield:

@RRN63: The 21st would seem to stand out as well, but will it evolve from the 20th century, take a place on par with the 20th, or outright replace it? Speculate...

Speaking of bottles, check out this bizarre container-related song: www.youtube.com...
(But don't check it out until A440 is done. And Airborne Event. Hmm.)

...there's I think a *natural* progression : Early > Baroque > Romantic > Modern > Post-Mod
- one out of - in a sense, already inside - the other
- & the 'Century' thing is perhaps the false premise, because used to that '20th vs. Rest of History' thang...just like some say 'the 60s' didn't start 'til '64 & went until '73 or something...(?)...

Oh, I am so sorry I read the "comments" to this piece. Please tell me that was a fake add-on description.

Why couldn't "Energy" just be a metaphor?

What the heck -- I have a record from the 1964-5 World's Fair with a piece of music that purports to encompass all human progress.

Archiving as usual. I'm amazed no comments on the 3rd mvmt of that Mason piece being set in the year...2112! That's really why you added it, right Bethany? :D
