[silence] Rozart Mix

[Daniel Wolf]

Rob,


The phrase was "splicing powder" (with the p in splicing looking more like  
a b), which after consultation with Cage in '88 was agreed to be a simple  
mistake.

You need to locate a copy of a small booklet by Alvin Lucier, Notes in the  
Margins, which describes the first performance of Rozart Mix and was  
written while preparing a revival at the '88 Cage festival at Wesleyan.   
Chris Schiff, now Music and Arts Librarian at Bates College, organized the  
splicing evenings (these were mostly done by male electronic music  
students, re-inventing the quilting bee, as it were, in a unique Judy  
Chicago meets Doctor Chicago* moment, as I have quipped far to often);  
he's the real expert on Rozart Mix.

*If you don't know already, Doctor Chicago was a character played by  
Lucier in a number of feature-length films by George Manupelli.
