  • When James Ford and Jas Shaw Met at Manchester University in the Late 1990S, They Never Imagined They'd End up Creating a Human Synthesiser
    When James Ford and Jas Shaw met at Manchester University in the late 1990s, they never imagined they'd end up creating a human synthesiser. But in their very earliest musical experiments together, something was set in motion which would lead to one of the most unusual careers in British music: one which has seen their creative mission transform again and again, inventing entirely new formats for music-making along the way. So perhaps the weaving of rich layers of human vocal tonalities sung by The Deep Throat Choir into the techno framework of their fifth studio album Murmurations isn't quite such an unexpected turn of events. In fact, they've been connecting the human voice with electronic sound since they first founded the band Simian with Simon Lord and Alex McNaughten. Simian was, in Jas's words, about “trying to show you could make band music with songs and harmonies but be into Autechre too". Named after "Simeon", the home-made early synth rig of early electronic experimentalists The Silver Apples, the band combined Crosby, Stills & Nash harmonies with hypnotic Krautrock rhythms, cosmic analogue synthesiser swooshes and an unmistakeable clubber's sense of groove - and somehow in the middle of all that managed to find something extraordinarily accessible. They were signed to a major label subsidiary in 2000, and made two albums that stand up in their own right now. But, Jas continues, it was "just at the moment the world was into the Strokes and White Stripes and straight-ahead rock music," and their rich, baroque tapestries of song and sound didn't reach the audience their ambition and beauty deserved.

Firstly, I would like to thank my colleagues, Mya Adams, Craig Cole, and Megan Refice, for their friendship and conversation, without which I would have not pursued the topic of Michael Rakowitz. Further, I would like to thank my thesis chair, Dr. Charissa Terranova, for her criticism and sharp direction. Her ability to give constructive comments not only improved my ability to write but also allowed me to explore ideas in a succinct and direct fashion. Moreover, I express my gratitude for the Nasher Sculpture Center and their curators, Jed Morse, Catherine Craft, and Leigh Arnold, for making my curatorial internship valuable and worthwhile. Installing Rakowitz’s The invisible enemy should not exist exhibition was a treasured experience and aided my thesis greatly. The Nasher has also been kind enough to allow me to present my work on Rakowitz at their 2020 Nasher Symposium which will be accompanied by a forthcoming publication.
