existence of "tempura" in both the producer's mind and on the web is but a

With some of the would-be avant-garde composers these days, though, you
never know: there COULD have been a part for "tempura" as someone might
have been supposed to slap pieces of food onto a cutting board for
percussion of some sort or another. I saw a John Cage piece once where
someone was scraping pieces of a cactus onto another cactus for a sound.

Especially in New York it's never safe to assume you've mis-heard. g
