  Alvin Lucier finds two extremely sympathetic interpreters of this approach in Charles Curtis (cello) and Anthony Burr (clarinet).
  ...
  This collection of compositions spread over two CDs, including a new piece, titled "Charles Curtis" and written by Lucier for this project, elicits an intense physical reaction—a testament to Lucier's poetic and scientific focus, as well as the deftness of technique with which Curtis and Burr execute these rigorously transcendent compositions.

  Time spent studying at Juilliard and teaching at Princeton in addition to acting as director of La Monte Young's Theater of Eternal Music String Ensemble and working alongside free music and art-rock musicians such as Alan Licht, Dean Roberts, and Borbetomagus has positioned Curtis uniquely at the crossroads of academic and outsider music.
  ...
  Currently, Curtis is a professor of music at the University of California, San Diego.
  ...
  "Both Burr and Curtis are first-rate performers of this music; in Curtis's case, this should be little surprise, given that he has performed La Monte Young's music for almost two decades.
  ...
  And when the performers are as good as clarinettist Anthony Burr and cellist Charles Curtis, there's not even the slightest chance of failing to appreciate these explorations of vibrating particles and translucent matters."

  Charles Curtis (2002)
  ...
  La Monte Young was Jennings' closest associate and teacher, and Charles Curtis has studied Jennings' music with Young since first encountering the Piece for Cello and Saxophone in 1989.
  
  Jennings' music is sparse and nearly motionless, emotionally direct, and fragile in the extreme.Piece for Cello and Saxophone is a monumental reflection on a handful of chords and melodic patterns, somewhat resembling raga, but modulating through a chorale-like progression in very slow motion.The solo version Curtis performs evolved from an arrangement created by La Monte Young, in which Young himself performed the saxophone part as a vocalist, with Curtis sustaining the cello drones.In a subsequent formation, Curtis learned the solo part by following Young's improvisations as a sarangi player follows a vocalist, while an ensemble of three cellists sustained the drones.Young thus passed the tradition of the solo role on to Curtis to create this version.
