Title: 
Party music and group reading
Description: 
A free-for-all music is played with piano, drumming, xylophone, etc. Then traffic sounds are recorded. Voices are imitating screeching tires. A session with Robert Benson, Stan Brakhage, Larry Jordan, James Tenney, and Walter Newcomb begins with a poem. Then they apparently parody intellectualism, as they take turns reading irreverent statements. Free music is played together, with singing and talking.
