Jeffrey Lohn's Theoretical Music was planned beforehand, it was pretty clear that Lohn decided to ham it up
excessively after hearing about all of the attention that the Cage/Branca situation birthed
(on radio and in the press and just the general talk by Festival goers that week).

Not in Silence (from 1961). Branca was 12.

Fascinating, you witnessed a piece of musical history.


FWIW I love Branca's debut album.
