And finally: Ken Friedman ‘composes’ The Sudden Death of Music in an original manuscript of 1971, while Le Corbusier composes his Poème électronique in the extraordinary working copy of the Minutage définitif des ambiances et images, dated 2 March 1958.
And yes, we have left out a few things here and there — there should still be something to discover.
See you in Berlin — or in Antwerp, of course.
