Pisaro's Hearing Metal 3 performance reviewed in New York Times

Last May I had the opportunity to carefully bow and dribble rice on a suspended cymbals for forty-five minutes, during a performance of Michael Pisaro's breathtaking Hearing Metal 3.  This experience, combined with my analysis of John Cage's Concert for Piano and Orchestra (which occurred during the same quarter) has altered my view of what composition is - though the shock-waves are traveling quite slowly through my practice.

I just heard from Greg Stuart, the organizer of the event, that the recording of the performance was recently reviewed in the New York Times.  With these links you can check out the review, and Michael Pisaro's blog (including excerpts).
