Good to see this tonight even tho BOAC is rather hip-established these days.
Roscoe was musically Roscoe, and absolute best background because he was
surrounded by his extreme-color paintings on three sides and "little instruments" in front.
Tomeka Reid's "world premiere" was unfortunately marred by faulty videocasting,
but this is the new idea of premiere these days.
Speaking of...technology broke down for 45 minutes, but performances resumed
without leaving anyone out after things were fixed. Don Byron, Pamela Z,
Rzewski's piece and Terry Riley were worth more than the price of admission (free).
