Opening session on July 14th, 1990 during the Composer to Composer festival in Telluride, CO.Charles Amirkhanian begins with announcements and a reading from the collaboratively composed manifesto by the presiding group about censorship on artists. Panel participants include Gerhard Stäbler, James Tenney, John Lifton, Geri Allen, Ge Gan-Ru, Pauline Oliveros, Roger Reynolds, I Wayan Sadra, Henry Brant, Robert Morris, (Wadada) Leo Smith, Larry Polansky, Laurie Anderson and Hugh Davies.
Rather than having the moderator present the composers, the composers present each other, offering short introductions, personal commentary, and other anecdotes as well as playing excerpts of selected works.
The recording ends somewhat abruptly as Hugh Davies discusses the work of Charles Amirkhanian but the discussion continues in part two of this recording.
