This blog Post is relevant (came across Lauren's blog recently and its really great, wish I had more time to go right back) and specific to graphic notation and Tudor with this line:
In some ways this tradition can be seen as restrictive (many people try to emulate David Tudor’s performances, for example, so many performances sound similar for this reason), but it can also provide a basis of practice from which to work.

Anyone know where a geezer could find a vinyl rip of the version of Rainforest which is so tantalizingly bigged-up throughout this thread?

I hope the 1980 Rainforest in that box is the Edition Block version Jon was in search of...

I hope it's a different one

I dug a bit deeper and apparently it is. Hope you can handle that!

I love that recording & it'll be nice to have a good digital transfer of it, but I would also buy a 20 CD box set of just performances of Rainforest IV, my only disappointment is that this is not a 21 CD box set

Makng my way through some of Tudor's cuts in Music for Merce. The world needs a longer version of 'toneburst'.
