THE PAST IS FINISHED AND GONE, EVERYTHING BECOMES FRESH AND NEW

The Pierre Boulez Project, which I wrote about here, is over! In honor of Boulez’s frequent (past) exhortations to destroy the art of the past, Josh Ronsen solicited donations of records, CDs, tapes, and books by Boulez in order to publicly destroy them, as examples of art of the now past. Ronsen reached his goal of 100 works to destroy, and their destruction occurred on February 28 in Austin in sonically various ways, as described by Ronsen here. Congratulations to Mr. Ronsen on the successful completion of his project, and to Mr. Boulez on having his ideas taken seriously and his instructions carried out.
