    Who Will Give Answer to the Call of My Voice? Sound in the Work of Tony Oursler By Tony Conrad Published in Ediciones Poligrafa Aug. 1, 2001 I am not a talking head. (Tony Oursler's image as devil, projected on a horned-head maquette; Machine, 2000) Pictures are more civil than noise. Only exceptionally is the clangor of clashing audio tracks less than hellish in museum efforts to exhibit multiple works with sound. Whether the pieces are films, 1recorded performances, sound works, or video installations, their simultaneous audio emanations compete and quarrel among one another in the resonant "white cube" in ways that pictures never would. The smooth clear rectilinear walls and hardwood floors of the modern museum gallery are the antithesis of a recording studio, with its soundproofing and wall-to-wall carpeting. When you step into a Tony Oursler show, though, the overlapping sound tracks somehow garble together, cohering as they weave an infernal sonic tapestry. Here sighs and cries and wails coiled and recoiled on the starless air, spilling my soul to tears. A confusion of tongues and monstrous accents toiled in pain and anger. Voices hoarse and shrill and sounds of blows, all intermingled, raised tumult and pandemonium that still whirls on the air forever dirty with it as if a whirlwind sucked at sand. Dante, Inferno, III:22-29 Almost any of Tony Oursler's shows has confronted the visitor with a cacophony of voice tracks, mingling among a melange of projected images, each voicing its own complaints, introspective remarks, or censorious social commentary.

  • Yasmina Chavez Electronic Integrated Arts MFA 2016 Thesis School of Art and Design - NYSCC at Alfred University Thesis Exhibit: April 9, 2016
    “Sensing Time” Yasmina Chavez Electronic Integrated Arts MFA 2016 Thesis School of Art and Design - NYSCC at Alfred University Thesis Exhibit: April 9, 2016 Committee Members: Peer Bode (Chair), Barbara Lattanzi, Joseph Scheer Introduction In Las Vegas, Nevada, where I’m from, there are three different coexisting strata of time: casinos or casino environments, the regular 24-hour clock calendar day society, and the desert. The casino environment consists of any place with gambling facilities. This includes any place with a gambling license from the major touristic casinos like the MGM to your neighborhood grocery stores or even, on your way out of the city, the airport. The casino environment furnishes the experience of timelessness, which is activated through an infinitely looping hand action. Pushing buttons or pulling levers (slot machine), holding, flicking or arranging cards (table games), and rolling or throwing dice (roulette table) are some examples of this looping hand action. The action holds the gambler in place until they run out of money, win, or something from 24-hour calendar day society pulls them away. Both the casino environment and the 24-hour calendar day society weave in and out of each other like soap bubbles in the wind. These two bubbles of time exist inside a larger bubble – the desert, which visibly surrounds the city a full 360 degrees. It is not only visible everywhere, but it is also felt through the tremendous heat and dry air that it breathes. On some of the hottest days everything seems to pause, even the air. Time in the desert is experienced on a massive scale, as if the land, which exudes a sense of finality, an end of calendar-time and eternality of both, had swallowed time.

  • PRESSEMITTEILUNG 27.11.2018 Steve Mason Im Februar Für Eine
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a ∙ 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 ∙ www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 27.11.2018 Steve Mason im Februar für eine exklusive Show in Berlin Steve Mason gehört zu den innovativen Musikern, die nicht immer den Stellenwert zuerkannt bekommen, den sie verdienen. Um es mal zurückhaltend zu formulieren. Der Schotte war Gründungsmitglied von The Beta Band, die in den Neunzigern einen ganz eigenen Sound entwickelten und wahlweise den Space Pop erfanden, den Folk revolutionierten – im Genre Folktronica dürften sie ziemlich lange die einzigen Vertreter gewesen sein – oder Sample- Techniken ins Singer/Songwriter-Gewerbe brachten. Alles zu dieser Zeit noch so neu und unerhört, wie man es sich heute kaum noch vorstellen kann. Aber wer sowohl Oasis als auch Radiohead zu seinen Fans zählen kann und im Film „High Fidelity“ namentlich und lobend erwähnt und gespielt wird, wird schon ordentlich Einfluss gehabt haben. Nach der Auflösung machte sich Mason unter so schönen Künstlernamen wie King Biscuit Time und Black Affair selbstständig, bis er 2010 endlich sein erstes Solo-Album „Boys Outside“ auf den Markt brachte. Jetzt hat der erklärte Mod wieder einmal einen neuen Weg gesucht: Nach zwei weiteren Platten unter eigenem Namen erscheint Anfang 2019 „About The Light“, ein Werk, das er sensationeller Weise einfach so mit einer großen Band mit Backgroundsängerinnen komplett im Studio eingespielt hat. Und doch hört sich schon der erste Schlagzeugschlag, der ersten Single „Stars Around My Head“, gar nicht nach einer Live-Aufnahme an. Aber was zunächst an Grandmaster Flashs Auftakt von „New York New York“ erinnert, entwickelt sich zu einer großen Hymne und gibt den Weg vor zu einem Sound, der so nah wie möglich am Live-Erlebnis eines Steve-Mason-Konzerts ist, wie es nur geht.

  • 1 Ervin Jarek 2017 PHD.Pdf
    ii © Copyright by Jarek Paul Ervin All Rights Reserved May 2017 iii ABSTRACT My dissertation takes a speculative cue from the reception of 1970s New York punk, which is typically treated as both rule – the symbolic site of origin – and exception – a protean moment before the crystallization of punk proper. For this reason, artists such as Velvet Underground, Patti Smith, the Ramones, and Blondie are today afforded the simultaneous status of originators, interlopers, innovators, and successors. This has led both to the genre’s canonicity in the music world and its general neglect within scholarship. I argue that punk ought to be understood less as a set of stylistic precepts (ones that could be originated and then developed), than as a set of philosophical claims about the character of rock music in the 1970s. Punk artists such as Patti Smith, Jayne County, and the Ramones developed an aesthetic theory through sound. This was an act of accounting, which foregrounded the role of historical memory and recast a mode of reflexive imagination as musical practice. At times mournful, at times optimistic about the possibility of reconciliation, punk was a restorative aesthetics, an attempt to forge a new path on memories of rock’s past. My first chapter looks at the relationship between early punk and rock music, its ostensible music parent. Through close readings of writing by important punk critics including Greil Marcus, Lester Bangs, and Ellen Willis – as well as analyses of songs by the Velvet Underground and Suicide – I argue that a historical materialist approach offers a new in-road to old debates about punk’s progressive/regressive musical character.
