A sound map of the Housatonic rives
200 copies 'I am fascinated by the multi-layered complexity of the sounds created by fast flowing rivers and have been exploring them for many years. An aural scan is a different experience from a visual scan - more intimate, I find. The energy flow of a river can be sensed very directly through the sounds created by the friction between current and riverbanks, current and riverbed. This is a sonic map tracing the course of the 224 km Housatonic River, from the sources in the Berkshire mo…
Music For Everyman 861
**Very rare original 1986 LP masterpiece, few copies available** Named in tribute to Fluxus-founder George Maciunas, this Ensemble (Paul Panhuysen and three others) cross disciplines (art, music and science) with ease. As the title of their record, Music For Everyman suggests, they attempt not just to document their own music but to inspire the D.I.Y. spirit in others. There's a clear debt to minimalist music, with an interest in layered drones and the exploration of harmonics. A Wide, White Wor…

Dead silence
In 2012, Room40's open frame festival probes this idea of dead silence. asking what role does silence play today across music and art spectra. We bring together a range of artists whose work can be seen to reflect on this idea of absence and presence. Moreover these artists raise questions around the positioning (in political, social, geographic, environmental and other realms) of silence and also what use we might have for it looking into the future - both methodologically and in actuality. The…

Stand up comedy
Alessandro Bosetti‘s music for the last decade has documented the de- and re-contextualization of the human voice through a variety of means. Il Fiore Della Bocca achieved this through the natural alterations of ‘normal’ speech exhibited by the voices of individuals with speech impediments, such as stuttering and phonetic disorders. Africanfeedback did so through vocal mimicry of contemporary music and through a simple ignorance of the languages his subjects were speaking (often Dogon). T…

djTRIO - 21 September 2002 Hirshhorn Museum Washington DC
World-renowned multi-media artist Christian Marclay may be best known these days for his globally embraced film collage piece "The Clock," but he began by redefining the roles of "musician," "DJ," and even "artist" itself. Since the late '70s, Marclay has created art by masterfully mistreating both vinyl and phonographic equipment, using them both in a manner more consistent with the way an abstract sculptor employs raw materials in the service of a larger vision. He was one of the earlies…

Recurrence
The latest from microsound pioneer and LINE boss Richard Chartier is a re-imagining of probably his best-known work, 2000s ‘Series’, which incidentally was the inaugural LINE release. Since 2011 Chartier has worked on revisiting elements of ‘Series’ and reworking them into ‘Recurrence’, which was intended to be able to be performed in the live environment. One of the drawbacks of ‘Series’ was that its character left it almost ‘unperformable’, so this re-visitation of the source material was out …
