James Holmes et al. in Nantucket - 21 September, 1985
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 591:
Four o'clock. Young Michael Torke with tapes of his pieces, which have such instantaneous appeal as to be quite disarming. Who else deserves these words? (JH, however, overhearing from his room , though it "sounded like party-sex music." Or, as Boulez said of Messiaen, "musique de bordel".)
