Not the version with authentic Renaissance instruments, in just tuning with elapsed time measured by sandglass?

While I find the bardcore variations of Cage's classic sublime, I fear the eructation of pigs and micturition of plowhorses is not for all :/

Hildegard Von Blingen gave it a red hot shot ... ruined by that bloody nun in the cloister that wouldn't shut up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9K9PfjRjxM

ta! that's a deep cut; I'd not gone much past her collaborative Gesamtkunstwerk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx-x_1lIXh4 (arrived at via https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcrQvoCzs80 )

> the eructation of pigs

I had not realised Ignatius J. Reilly was not the only rotund creature to suffer from misfunction of the pyloric valve.

When the pigs start to quote Boethius we'll have to start counting legs on our medievalists to tell the difference.

Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" marks out an hour with bars, it served as a metronome for the odd lengthy project or three in the past: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXJWO2FQ16c

Wonderfully complex! Reminds me a little of Philip Glass.

New project material for sure, thanks for sharing!

James Brown. The hardest working man in show business inspires me to work just as hard.

When I need calm to relax I prefer Judas Priest and Guns 'n' Roses.
