- "The Brickeaters is an
absurdist buddy movie of a story featuring a very tall and young
internet content screener teamed up with an aging career criminal whose
primary companions are an oxygen bottle and .44 Magnum. After a short
crime spree cementing their unhinged parternship, they work together to
prevent a middle-aged lottery winner from polluting the LA water supply
with massive amounts of fluoride. Their adventures unfold via a wholly
unreliable alcoholic narrator desperately avoiding the reality of
spousal abandonment.
About the author: Alternately seen as a rock band, an arts collective, and a spirit, THE RESIDENTS are
regarded as iconic in the world of experimental music. In addition to
their groundbreaking work in the areas of trance, world fusion,
electronica, punk, industrial and lounge music, the group has also been
credited with being among the originators of performance art and music
video. Their early videos are in the permanent collection of the Museum
of Modern Art, and their Freak Show CD-Rom was featured in MOMA’s
“Looking at Music 3.0” exhibition. Their four-decade-long career has
also taken them into the world of film and television music, having
scored numerous films and TV series as well as several projects for MTV."
Composed in 2002–3 in the studios of
Capparos and Marchetti and at Fresnoy
National Studio of Contemporary Arts
as the soundtrack to the Éric Pellet film
Livre des morts.
“The Book of the Dead is a musical
journey along the path that we all must
travel when, as humans, we confront
our own mortality.”
Distressed Vivaldi is a soundtrack created for the “Model Home”
exhibition at the Clocktower Gallery of PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New
York City, which opened on October 20, 1996. Two minutes of Vivaldi’s
The Four Seasons was sampled into a Mac IIx with SoundTools and
manipulated using a variety of software and hardware digital sound
processors to generate a sixty-minute piece in four sections. This
soundtrack played continuously in the space. Distressed Vivaldi was
initially released by PS1 as a limited-edition cassette.
Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) produced a lot of electronic music. However,
works for tape alone are fairly rare in his output. Over about a
thirty-year period, ten works for solo tape were produced. Of the ten
tape pieces, five were created in the mid-1960s at the University of
Illinois, one was created in 1974-5 in his home studio in La Jolla, and
four were made in the studio at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, which
he directed during the 1980s and early 1990s. Not surprisingly for a
composer whose stated aim was to blur the distinctions between language
and music, six of the ten pieces feature an overt use of the voice,
while two of the "purely electronic" pieces use timbres that are so
vocal in character that one is constantly thrown back onto a
consideration of Gaburo's main obsession, the voice. Only two of the
pieces, both from the Illinois period, seem to not deal with the voice
in any way.
Reminds me of Michael Dvorak, an old friend of mine who introduced me to Art Bears, Chris Cutler and Recommended Records, as well as the French prog/avantgarde such as Art Zoyd and Etron Fou.
