Slightly unfortunate

It is slightly unfortunate that "electronics" in a musical program usually means "macbook(s)."



John Cage can be criticized for relying on cleverness, or to put it another way, cleverness is too often his only virtue, so that "experimentation" often reduces to merely a clever idea. But his successors seem to amount to little more than mildly inventive noisiness, not even attaining the sublimely overwhelming, architectonic noisiness of a certain style of experimental rock.



Occasioned by this. They did in fact do several of the pieces simultaneously, even having the audience "perform" from a "score" during much of the middle of the concert.
