monographic narcoses of denotations...
awarded a bottle of wine for being the last to
"sit thru" this work (?) and awarded a bottle of anti-dogmas for
co-performing it. you DO get to hear everyone's "interpretation"
of the melody. boredom actually leaves you when you check your
expectations at the door.

--- Dick Higgins wrote:...Satie appears to have been fascinated be this
effect because he also wrote Vexations (published in John Cage’s article
in Art News Annual 1958), an utterly serious 32-bar piece (although the
bar-lines are not written in) intended to be played very softly and
very slowly 840 times. Today, it is usually done by a team of
pianists, and lasts over a period of roughly 25 hours. Is it boring?
Only at first? After a while the euphoria I have mentioned begins to
intensify. By the time the piece is over, the silence is absolutely
numbing, so much of an environment the piece become."
