The first of two nights devoted to the work of composer Sylvano Bussotti, who has had his greatest success in Europe, but in the early '60s he hung with John Cage and the New York School, his music representing a sort of fusion of the determinedly avant-garde New York School with the European High Modernism of the time. Tonight features a silent nonnarrative film made by Bussotti in the late '60s featuring luminaries of the New York and Italian underground scenes. There will also be a taste of the music by Bussotti that will be plalyed at tomorrow's full-scale concert at Roulette.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Mariella Pizza will still be open after the show. It's good.
