Some people write diaries, I've never done that. Today I wrote my thoughts down in a little Japanese book i bought in London. That is good.

This movement is a parody of the Scherzo of Mahler's 'Resurrection' Symphony, in the composer's words, creating "the image of that of a river running through a constantly changing landscape, disappearing from time to time underground, only to emerge later totally transformed." Under a collage of spoken and sung text fragments by Samuel Beckett, Berio incorporates 20th century musical quotations from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, Debussy's La Mer, Ravel, Schoenberg, Berg and even himself.

wow, were are really amazed about the flood of comments in the last hours. so thank you all for your kind and unkind comments. we really appreciated that! sorry that we can not answer all... it's just too much!

just one word to all the people who are concerned about people dying of starvation:
we are concerned too. but not doing this project does change nothing. it doesn't make the world a better place.
if you are really concerned about the distribution of wealth then do something about it! read books about the real cause of hunger. talk with your friends and family about it. change your own life and try to change politics. buy and support the right things. it is not people using vegetables differently than usual that make the world a bad place. it's all of us wanting too much. our own car, a new cellphone, a bigger house with air condition, more money...
sending the vegetables to africa does not help. on the contrary it destroys the markets there, so people can not sell their own produce, because the imported one is too cheap.

and by the way: people have used vegetables for music for centuries. also in africa.
