Don't Make Me Laugh / Ha Ha Ha Ha

"Serving Size 4 Bunnies" is Carl Schimmel's new humorous-serious work: "a largifical listening experience," he calls it.
In this interview, you'll learn such things as whether or not performers of this piece are required to eat Peeps before the concert (A. "standard performance practice for the work has not been established yet") and whether it's necessary to look beyond the squeaky toys and funny sounds (A. Well..."Its dramatic pacing is chiefly informed by Stalling, Kagel, Janacek, Svankmajer, and rodent mannerisms" should give you a hint).

The interview also has the the fourth movement ("IV In which a bunny, delirious from the sugaryfumes, degenerates into a hysterical grinagog") for your listening pleasure.
