As part of the edition processes I had to remove the noise from a refrigerator that was close to me in the concert.

This is the piano solo part of a show entitled "Diction & Contradiction" by Cecil Taylor and afro-american poet, Amiri Baraka. The poetry lectures by both artists will be avaliable soon in another post.
