as an improvising musician i find it impossible to sepparate the process
from a piece as a piece is a performance and a performance a process on
display. i may be being a bit romantic but i quite like the idea that by
exposing the process or labor behind a piece exposses certain ideological
connnections that every piece of art innevitably has.

particulary with imorovisation i find that you do and then its gone,
rather than you do and then you have. sure you have fragments left over,
recordings and such, or preparded/found materials that you might have
taken along to a session but they only find a meaning in the act of doing,
once the doing stops it's gone again.

there are of course resonances with cage's work that are still relevant to
much art today but its a bit boring witnessing a 'radical' avant garde
piece that covers that same old ground.
