Bizarre/hilarious names for a movement? Takemitsu once composed a 3 movement orch+cello work “Orion and Pleiades” in which the 2nd mvmt is simply called “and”. It’s 5 minutes long.

From the 1964 Festival of Music & Art of This Century that took place University of Hawaii at Manoa (where Cage and Takemitsu met for the 1st time) There was a "Fluxus Festival" within the festival, including this work by Nam June Paik that takes socially distanced performance to a whole new level!

This is such a cool project for these times. Thanks to Del Sol Quartet for the chance to take part! Looking forward to meeting the many other composers on this program online 🙂🥸
