@zaphodful Please don't tell me what my reply should have been, I'm sincerely sorry that you feel you have to publicly treat work with disrespect, without intelligent or constructive commentary. Perhaps it's just a cultural difference that I'm yet to understand.

You are an idiot. Sorry to blurt it out like that, but your reply should have been 'each to their own.' Not: 'I'm sorry you can't listen'. Dickhead.

The score is amazing, look it up on the composer's website. You won't be laughing anymore.

[perdixification]

I'm sorry that you can't listen.

I'm sorry. I about laughed myself to death when he turns the pages. This is on a par with John Cage's 4'33". I'd like to see how the score looks.

Cassidy's work is so super-sonic. Many times I feel like he has no regard for the musicians that actually attempt to play his demanding notations. Overall, his stuff is very interesting.

I'm sorry, but I can't take pieces like this seriously. Great performance by the performer though.
