Several years ago on WNYC-FM (in NYC, of course) I heard two works
which satirized the musical avant-garde of the 1950s.  I can't remember
much about the works now, except that the first was entitled "Flute
Loops" and was a very messy piece using a flute on a tape loop.
The second was a lampoon of Beat poetry complete with someone in
the background yelling "Dig it, baby, dig it!"

My questions:
(1)  Who is the composer?
(2)  Is there a commercially available recording?
