the score was published in one of the first G. Brecht's V tre. Besides, Ligeti had the occasion to meet Paik in the very early sixties, when they were working together in the Radio Cologne electronic music Studio

Ligeti continually surprises me. I just listened to the recent Sony CD of his keyboard works: a new recording of his organ work "Harmonies" in which Ligeti himself lays his body on the organ bellows, and moving his body, produces a weird, unearthly sound morphology, as if the organ tones are fading in and out of reality. In previous versions of this work, power to the bellows was turned off and on to produce strange effects, but Ligeti's body manipulation takes these effects to the extreme. > > I have not yet heard Ligeti's "symphonic poem" for 100 metronomes, which was listed in an early Fluxus publication. I do not know the story of its creation or how it was included in the Fluxus publication. Anybody know the story?
