sorry, can't narrow further that this:
ives - concord sonata
feldman - rothko chapel
berg - wozzeck
ligeti - lux aeterna
reich - different trains
ornette - lonely woman
which one of those composers do i take to the deserted island? roll the dice.
Group for improvisers and people interested in improvisation.
have to agree here.
i think there might be value in the desconstruction of norms or biases by purposeful incoherence (perhaps the theater of the absurd, or the spectacle of artaud's theater of cruelty)...
and mostly i love non-purposeful coherence…
