For info on my Pierre Boulez Project, see http://home.flash.net/~jronsen/boulez.html I am collecting 100 Boulez records, books and scores to destroy them. This is an attempt to align Boulez's work with his repeated calls of "all art of the past must be destroyed." So far I have 25 records and books, and I think half of those come from my collection (the site needs to be updated). The web page is also the most comprehensive index of online information in English about composer, conductor and enigma Boulez. I have been collecting public reaction to the project at http://home.flash.net/~jronsen/boulezreactions.html People have called me a Nazi and another has suggested that I "get a life." Others question the project as art, but a majority of the reaction has been positive, but by people who do not own any Boulez records. I have emailed about 1000 people, radio stations, and magazines about the project. The Wire mention was great, but I do not think I have gotten any goods from it (yet). On the website, I need to add another Feldman quote about Cornelius Cardew learning guitar to play a Boulez piece (in the early 1960s). Feldman quips: that's like learning Dutch to read Kierkegaard. -Josh Ronsen in Austin, Texas Need a new email address that people can remember Check out the new EudoraMail at http://www.eudoramail.com
