Lucier is compelling throughout. Majestically ignores the interviewer for much of the interview. (I hate this interviewer but he gets good results so maybe he is good?)

“How do I get in touch with John Cage?” “Have you tried calling him?”

AL: [Fascinating detailed explanation of upcoming piece]
Interviewer cuts him off: [bored and unimpressed] “Okay. Something to look forward to.”

It is a cliche to name a "genius" who "changed" music, listening or recording for everyone who followed. Often it is a bullshit honorific. I am however sincere when I say Alvin Lucier, genius, invented new ways to hear, execute, record and think about music and sound. Requiescat.

Also in a recent documentary I discovered he used the same brand of crushed tomatoes to make marinara sauce as my family does.

Was so lucky to see him do Music for Solo Performer. Just a little old man sitting quietly while everything erupted around him.
