Description: Performing Arts (including Performance Art)
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art
Premiere performance of "Ping" at Toru Takemitsu's Festival "Orchestral Space '68". Photos were taken in association with the two Japanese performances (one in June of 1968, that other a year later). Photos were also taken during rehearsals (with and without full performance conditions involving black-out and projections). It is therefore not always possible to know with which circumstance (The 1968 "Music Today" festival or the 1969 “CROSSTALK Intermedia”) a photo is associated. So far as I am aware, no photos were taken during the 1968 UCSD performance when I was serving as a Regent's Lecturer in the UCSD Music Department.
