Hello Silencers,I?figure?I better introduce myself first?if I'm going ask question.my name is Patrick O'Reilly, I'm a teacher / student / percussionist / composer studying and working in New York City?and I've remained rather?silent myself receiving information on this mailing list for about a year now, i must say its?been very helpful to my understanding of John Cage and his work.? 
??are there any composers that focus their work on the idea of combining many ideas into small amounts of time? in other words: assuming a broom stick represents a piece of music, this type of composition being perhaps the isle in home depot where they keep all of the broom sticks. ?if so who, if not then why?if this makes no sense, ignore it?and?Happy New Year!?-Patrick O'Reilly

Some sad news today:? the greatest American patron of new music in recent decades, Betty Freeman, has passed away January 4, 2009, at the age of 87.
She had largely impeccable taste in new music and supported composers working in a wide variety of styles such as Cage, Lou Harrison, Harry Partch, La Monte Young, Harrison Birtwistle, and Steve Reich.

She told me once that the most important artist she thought she had ever supported was Harry Partch.
