"About five years ago, I went to the composer Alvin Lucier’s concert. There was no one in the audience besides the organizer and some musicians involved (including me.) The concert was five hours (still a shortened version of the composition), and half the piece was with silences. Even in the part which some sounds were involved, came from a wide array of electronic tapes, with the man saying one word in every eight minutes. It was a hard experience. No one may want to come to such a concert.” ~Taku Sugimoto
