Brother Dick,

I will send you my new composition and hope it will interest you. You have characterized me as an idealist, I do not like the word but perhaps there are something about it for instens am I thinking that one or another day a religion will tell people that the human being must destroy themselves, but I am hopening that we are so strong that we can "destroy" that thought.

Jed Curtis is in Copenhagen, and Terry Riley and Tomas Schmit will come. We will make a "INTERNATIONAL HAPPENING" "moving in, with, below, inside, over, to, from, on and by the audience" here in Jenslev where we have so many rooms and places. The dwelling-house, the rabbit-stable, farmermachinroom (60 m), courtyard, the garden and fields.
Køpcke, Eric Andersen and some other painters from a eksperimetal painterscool will take part in it and we will work at the same time at different places.
I want to work in the stable. I will put people in the cabins together with the rabbits, they will get beer, cake, coffee and other things and I will play for them a record with danish revue-artist. Who will tell the same funny story for one and a halfhour again and again. (He is very popular). The audience will come and look at the audience.
I am living 50 km. outside Copenhagen but on sunday the 25/8 I think it will be easy, people want to get out of town and there are many people just arouind, to get a good audience.

I also hope that you are a little lesser fed now, so that you can now again. I should like to see your new compositions. (It was very importend for me to see your piece "five walkers". What do you call it?

for your
healthiness
I
will stop
