Alvin Lucier on “I am sitting in a room“

Glimpse minimalist composer Alvin Lucier’s sound check and performance of his most famous work I am sitting in a room, which was the musical focus of CAST’s symposium “Seeing, Sounding, Sensing.” Lucier gives context for this piece in an intimate interview with Evan Ziporyn.
