"NPR is playing sounds of doors opening."
Says a friend who lives in New York. "Better than a pledge drive," I said.
"It sort of sounds like farting, really."
"And what now sounds like duct tape being ripped off of mouths... Quite distressing."
It was later revealed that this work is called "Variations for a Door and a Sigh," produced in 1969.
Perhaps this is one of those expressions of "art" that I don't understand. But if it's going to spend airtime playing sounds of doors, I think I'm less likely to give them my money.
