Instant Classics
May 2002

Inspired by the supposition that the modern human attention span has been shrunk to 90-second sound bites and bumper stickers. The Instant Classics are an exploration on what precisely is lost and gained in this process. By attempting to boil down famous literary works to a 90-second concentrate of lyrical summarizing set to (often experimental) music, we're exploring a concept that seems absurdly doomed, while
                                     trying to create the rarest of rare birds: sound art that stands up to repeated listenings.

                                     We'd like to expand the possiblities, staying in touch with John Cage without completely                                      losing touch with John Q.
