Hello. My name is Josh Ronsen and I am a mail artist and musician
living in Austin, Texas. I have embarked on a long term collaborative
project that I have been calling the Pierre Boulez Project. Years
ago, French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez wrote that "All art
of the past must be destroyed." Before and since writing that
statement, he has made a living in presenting many art works of the
past, from Handel to Beethoven to Wagner to Stravinsky. In my
project, I am collecting recordings of Boulez's work as a composer
and a conductor. Once I have assembled a sufficient number of
recordings (and books and scores), my comrades and I will destroy
them through various means in a performance creating a new work of
art of the Present.
I ask that you submit any unwanted Boulez recordings to my project. I
will credit all submissions on my web site and as well as the
programs and final documentation of the project. If you wish, I can
keep your donation anonymous.
Please see the Pierre Boulez Project web site at
http://home.flash.net/~jronsen/boulez.html
You will find a list of contributors as well as the most comprehensive
index (in English) to online information about Boulez, including links to
a number of interviews with him.
Your help is needed now. I have 34 donations and I am seeking 100.

I thank you for your time,
-Josh Ronsen
