watching footage of cage, tudor and cunningham in the fifties tonight, it seems that the piano has amplification, or some kind of distortion, even with the simple mic-ing. the piano sounds spacious and serene, and my immediate thoughts go, of course, to how i play the pieces, and if perhaps the producers for la dance project expect a certain sound, a certain beautiful blend of sonorities, a certain serenity, that perhaps i won’t provide. then again, i don’t really know how it all sounds or looks, functioning as i do from the inside-out. rehearsed terry riley’s in c with kids tonight. exhilarating but exhausting. mom visiting, both to attend yesterday’s student recital and also the dance production tomorrow. probably the most tireless person. i write this from bed as f measures the apartment with a tape, getting dimensions. mom helps.
