I don't know who the fanboy comment was intended for but the group visited
an Aesthetics class here on campus (the students read Eddie's book the week
before) and Keith Rowe did mention the problem of the "AMM silence" cliche.
for my part, I thought the end was very clear. There was even a kind of end
before the end which made it clear the the end was in sight. Nonetheless,
the audience was puzzled.

Ran across this CD at a local record store during the weekend and I'm very curious. Could someone who has heard this album give me a description? I'm a big Robert Quine fan so I'm also wondering how much of a contribution he brings to the album. Just don't want to get burned with a $20+ Avant CD.
Thanks.

Its a trio with Ribot, Quine on guitars and Ikue Mori on percussion. Some of
its better than others, but worth a listen to.

What problem is this? That the audience fails to applaud, or that they
actually can't tell that the performance is over until AMM starts to
dismantle their gear, or something else?
My ensemble, Gray Code, also uses extended silences in playing, but,
due to our visibly varied attention when playing and not playing, haven't
had a problem with audiences knowing if we were and weren't finished. I
would think that AMM would have been able to indicate this too. (I
haven't seen them yet, but am eagerly looking forward to catching them
in Baltimore.)
