...wall, and has the gallery do the work. Ronald Kuivila's Visitations is an audiotape of interviews, songs and the noises of a former factory. Robert Rauschenberg's 1/4 Mile or 2 Furlong Piece is a work in progress that currently has 195 parts--some visual, some aural--and measures nearly 1,000 ft. in length. Let's leave aside discussion of the value of these examples of contemporary art. Before people can judge them, they have to be seen or, as the artists would have it, experienced.

...rising to a D two octaves above the staff. As stated by the program, "This sort of exposed writing in the upper register is more indicative than anything else of what the solo part in this concerto is about."

Several "hey-ho's" and "nah-nah's" later, with the melodies acting as some sort of immediately infectious drug and the muscle-bound punk cowboy aesthetic getting full play, the stage is set for the rest of the record to branch out. "Bloodclot" is a successful segue from "Wolves" to the rest of the new album...

...want to say/but I can't even take one breath." On the other hand, a plethora of extra instrumentation helps the quartet explore these comfortable themes more fully than they could in their guitar based pieces. The numerous string parts on "Cry," for instance, cooperate to create an aural combination of soft weeping and more vehement sobs, and add a mournful nuance to otherwise unprofound lyrics.
