Unconfirmed, but the news is that Lou Harrison died yesterday. He was
85 and I expected at least a dozen more years from him...:(
The report:
He was on the way to Ohio for a festival of his music and
collapsed in Chicago. He recently finished a book of poems
and gamelan music, and was planning to teach gamelan at
Cabrillo College this term. Lou had also become interested
in a new form of building that involved filling nylon tubes
with clay and coiling them up to harden into domes.
