| for alto saxophone, electronics & improvising ensemble |
| Gutless Wonder is a reference to a reference to a story by Kurt Vonegut's Killgore Trout in Slaughterhouse Five. It's about a robot with bad breath who bombs people with jellied gasoline. He is disliked, however, only because of his bad breath. When he remedies his halitosis, he is then well liked and continues with his work: bombing people with jellied gasoline. |
