Shortly after its opening, the Museum of Contemporary Art planned an exhibition to record the trend, incipient then and pervasive today, toward conceptualization of art. This exhibition, scheduled for the spring of 1968 and abandoned because of technical difficulties, consisted of works in different media, conceived by artists in this country and Europe and executed in Chicago on their behalf. The telephone was designated the most fitting means of communication in relaying instructions to those entrusted with fabrication of the artists' projects or enactment of their ideas. To heighten the challenge of a wholly verbal exchange, drawings, blueprints or written descriptions were avoided. -Jan van der Marck (covertext)

This is an opera, parts of which are sung in Italian with Tenor Tom Buckner and Carla Tato. This is an opera that has a perripheral relationship to other operas you have heard, though has none of the forced theatrically or minimalism of other modern operas. The accent's on words of course, all sung and spoken in that relaxed Robert Ashley style. Ashley's later pieces have been compared to watching a baseball game, a series of patterns and sporadic events that disturb the patterns. The music is all by "Blue Gene" Tyranny at his best, one minute loungey Farfisa and rhythm box, the next orchestral synthesizers doing melodious washes. -from: New Music Distribution Service, Annual 1988.

"Atalanta (acts of god)", whose theme is "architecture", is the first parts of a trilogy of narrative works ("operas"), of which "Perfect lives", whose theme is "agriculture", is the second part, and "Now eleanor's idea", whose theme is "genealogy", is part three.
