One of the recipients of the mail shots (as well as a participant in the festival) was La Monte Young. Young, a musician who had arrived in New York September 1960, had been asked to guest edit a special edition of "Beatitude East" on avant-garde art, which evolved into the seminal compendium, "An Anthology Of Chance" (see [http://www.ubu.com/historical/young/index.html.]) Brecht was the first artist listed in the compendium; the graphic designer and publisher of the book was George Maciunas, who had been attending the same music classes, although by now they were being given by Richard Maxfield.
