It would nice if this were a lot — a LOT — easier to read, simple to access, and free.

But then everyone would want _Four Violins (1964)_ and _Early Minimalism Vol. I_ as well.

Chuffed to have attended this at Wesleyan: Carl Testa’s actualization of Anthony Braxton’s _Echo Echo Mirror House Music: Composition No. 375_, a decentralized collage/collision between past and present via septet and bespoke spatial audio. That’s Braxton photobombing my shot. I let it slide.
