Movie Picture

Third Book of Exercises 1968

Film made of an outdoor performance of my 1967 piece,"3rd Book of Exercises." A pianist practices scales - an electronic musician practices with tape. The piece explores sounds of autos (the American sound) and 2 performances of Lord Buckley. Several of the faculty at Brandeis were very unhappy with the piece and asked Alvin Lucier to better monitor work coming from the electronic music studio. Then film was shot on 400 ft of B&W negative that had survived a fire and dousing with fire hoses. -R.L.
