Hi Mr. Toast, I guess great minds think alike. On Oct 17 & 18 in Berkeley will be the Premier Performance of my Toast Quartet for flute, bass clarinet, viola and bass -- the 3rd movement of which is entitled "Toast Descending a Staircase" based on the Duchamp painting. Lemme know if you're anywhere near Berkeley on that date. All the best, Mark
By the way, that quartet also includes "Toast Machine" based on James Brown's "Sex Machine" and "Toasters on the Nervion" which title reveals the true design concept behind Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Bilbao.
