Response to Cardiff and Miller

Response to Cardiff and Miller:

It is terribly easy fall into the trap of making a piece like this dry and
boring.  The ultimate excitement of the piece - the powerful experience of
witnessing the art - is something the reader cannot do.  Not even a picture.
However, surprise is usually interesting, and in the author's experience there
were at least two surprises: the boom of the "Forest" and the unexpected nature
of Fritz's identity.  I hence approve of how the author attempted to have the
reader mimic this his own response by cutting off a sentence mid-way and
initially mislead us as to Fritz's identity.

What I disliked was the complete absence of visuals.  While the focus of the
pieces were aural, not visual, each had a visual component.  Part of what,
presumably, makes the "Forest" piece so real was the imagery tied to the sound.
Similarly, seeing the "Forty-part Motet" and its array of speakers would have
been quite interesting.
