		Called Mobile for Tape and Percussion, the thing was identified to the audience as the work of one Piotr Zak, a young avant-garde Pole considered "one of the most controversial figures in contemporary music." Zak's "work" was a dreadful cacophony punctuated by rattles, bangs and random blows on a xylophone.
		The confusion onstage was loudly reminiscent of a 1961 broadcast during which the BBC startled England with a perform ance of Mobile for Tape and Percussion, identified as the work of young, avant-garde Polish Composer Piotr Zak.
		Zak's Mobile proved to be the handi work of two pranksters who banged away haphazardly at "all the instruments we could find" in an effort to discover just how much the public would endure.

		Zak's "music" was included on the BBC transcription; this is what the critics had listened to attentively before giving their "reviews." Four critics said the "music" had no merit whatsoever and was worthless.
		The "music" they heard was the result of several non-musical stage-hands going onstage after a concert, picking up various instruments, pounding on them, blowing into them, producing some kind of sound recorded by BBC engineers who did some editing to join the "music" together.
		I couldn't help but be reminded of "Piotr Zak" listening to both of these new CDs.

		The ministry further warned that "this outcome will invite abuse, goes against European Union regulations and the position taken by Poland in EU entry talks and will significantly cut budget revenues." AWS spokesman Piotr Zak said the party would persist with their three per cent rate proposal once the Senate is asked to review it.
		Zak said: "this law with a three-percent VAT will pass through the Senate, but we have to make some minimal gesture of good will towards the peasants." The gestures could include substantial fuel subsidies for farmers and possibly concessions for the sugar-producers' lobby during the upcoming privatisation of sugar refineries.
