the musical scores of milan adamciack

I was blessed to be able to play a set of music at one of Milan's openings in Bratislava this spring. His work is largely unknown outside of Slovakia but he rubbed shoulders with John Cage et al for a while. What an amazing spirit.
He had a great anecdote about the first time he came to New York in the mid sixties to pay a visit to Cage. When he disembarked the plane, he proceeded through customs where he was asked if he was importing any food or produce. He then replied to the customs officer, "No, I am sorry. Are you hungry?"
