Leonardo did do audio-visual. Cf. The Art of Performance by Battcock and Nickas. Leo used fireworks, large mechanical sets that moved and turned, large pools of water, whatever. THERE IS NOTHING NEW. Aside from the fact that the Borofsky show at the Whitney has works resonant of Laurie Anderson that antedate her current work, including music and images, although the media are different. Leo also wrote music: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 8 8 8 4 4 4 4 4 4 8 8 8 8 4 4 2 c-d-e-f-g-e-f-a-g-gbelow-c-d-e-f-g-e-g 2. Alban Berg was shot by American MP's while smoking an after-dinner cigar on his porch. His brother-in-law, in the black market, had been pursued there by the MPs. 3. I have conducted, and I am a composer. There is too much new music being written for there to be time to listen to several different interpretations of the same piece. Never listen to the same piece twice! It is a waste! Tom Janzen DEC 150 Locke Marlboro MA 01752 Mon 4-Mar-1985 08:52 EST
