Day 351 — John Cage—HPSCHD
18-Jul-1972 (Tue.)
Today is
the big “happening” of the avant-garde music
festival, the multimedia experience of HPSCHD by John
Cage in Philharmonic Hall. It was an amazing
experience (despite my slight criticism.) A
fascinating lecture by computer music composer, John
Chowning.

Day 350 — Berlin, spending money
17-Jul-1972 (Mon.)
A light
day of activity in Berlin. I use this opportunity to
give the details of some of my money spending in
Berlin taken from my “finance journal.” It’s
interesting.

Day 349 — Swimming at Wannsee
16-Jul-1972 (Sun.)
Today is a
day of relaxation and getting sun burnt on the
Wannsee. Swimming, nudity, architecture, it’s all
part of today’s discussion. I don’t have any pictures
of the Wannsee or of nudity.

Day 345: Avant-garde music, my thoughts
Day 345 — Avant-garde music, my thoughts
12-Jul-1972 (Wed.)
It’s a big
day of much avant-garde music and art. I hear a lot
of music today and am a bit critical of things
sounding “typical.” That’s typical, of me. The Berlin
girls are chic
(and
bra-less). Berlin is a town for young people.

“happenings.”

Day 218: Lofty musings today—Hermann Hesse
Day 218 — Lofty musings today—Hermann Hesse
07- March-1972 (Dienstag–Tue.)
Today is heavy with abstract concepts and thoughts. I want to make an abstract film about the human body and talk about influences. It’s Hermann Hesse’s fault.

Day 117: Where’s my turkey?
Day 117 — Where’s my turkey?
27-November-1971 (Sat.)
No turkey for me this year. Totally missed Thanksgiving. I see a contemporary music theatrical event and seem to like it. Europe is generally more open to contemporary music and art.
My cousin, Walter, has left the Peace Corps. I was impressed that he joined them as a volunteer in an African village, building a village well.
