Description

Charles Amirkhanian plays experimental works by members of his class at U.C. Extension, San Francisco; and introduces the work of Didi Favreau, a woman who has composed music on tape based exclusively on the sounds of office machinery. Her art is an outcry against the slavery of women and is an interesting contrast to her former output as an urban folk recording artist. Tape 1 contents: 1. Oh Hell, Oh Hell, Armanita Yuen[sp?]; 2.
