So, it’s with some excitement that we bring to you an issue full of new things including a look at the Guma Guar art collective who are breaking down barriers in the art world and revising the possibilities of what art is and represents in this the 21st century. We also were fortunate enough to get the incredibly infl uential illustrator and artist Gary Baseman to share his thoughts with us on a variety of subjects. In the realm of new and interesting music, we were able to get Sasha Perera, the lead singer of the truly globalized band Jahcoozi to answer some of our questions. You will also have a chance to read the thoughts of a con- tributor who has put a great deal of time and energy into thinking through what actually did happen on September 11th and was it what we’ve been told to believe or not?

  • BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music
    BEAUTIFUL NOISE Directions in Electronic Music www.ele-mental.org/beautifulnoise/ A WORK IN PROGRESS (3rd rev., Oct 2003) Comments to [email protected] 1 A Few Antecedents The Age of Inventions The 1800s produce a whole series of inventions that set the stage for the creation of electronic music, including the telegraph (1839), the telephone (1876), the phonograph (1877), and many others. Many of the early electronic instruments come about by accident: Elisha Gray’s ‘musical telegraph’ (1876) is an extension of his research into telephone technology; William Du Bois Duddell’s ‘singing arc’ (1899) is an accidental discovery made from the sounds of electric street lights. “The musical telegraph” Elisha Gray’s interesting instrument, 1876 The Telharmonium Thaddeus Cahill's telharmonium (aka the dynamophone) is the most important of the early electronic instruments. Its first public performance is given in Massachusetts in 1906. It is later moved to NYC in the hopes of providing soothing electronic music to area homes, restaurants, and theatres. However, the enormous size, cost, and weight of the instrument (it weighed 200 tons and occupied an entire warehouse), not to mention its interference of local phone service, ensure the telharmonium’s swift demise. Telharmonic Hall No recordings of the instrument survive, but some of Cahill’s 200-ton experiment in canned music, ca. 1910 its principles are later incorporated into the Hammond organ. More importantly, Cahill’s idea of ‘canned music,’ later taken up by Muzak in the 1960s and more recent cable-style systems, is now an inescapable feature of the contemporary landscape.

  • Really Techno
    Really Techno ‘Ich bin einer,’ I say when my turn comes. I am one. I’ve been here before, outside this colossal power station in Fredrichshain, just over the Spree in the old East, very near to where the Berlin wall once stood. On previous occasions I queued with friends, the first time for three hours on a balmy Saturday night, which also happened to be the club’s birthday party. I got in just as the sun was coming up. The second time for forty minutes in midwinter, the temperature a bone throbbing minus eleven. Today I’m acting like a Berliner and doing it solo on an indifferent Sunday in April. I’m not here to take drugs, or get drunk, I’m not really looking to hook up; in fact once I get in, if you dance too close to me I’ll probably move. I’m here as a forty five year old woman, to be on my own, surrounded by techno music played on one of the best sound systems in the world, the harder and louder the better. The building towers over us, monolithic concrete and steel, graffiti covering the bottom floors. It’s getting on for 3pm and there’s about a half an hour queue leading up to the entrance. Most of them are male, one mixed group of hopeful tourists who get refused, two thickly bearded men who have obviously spent last night hooking up with each other. They have the kinetics of recent sex in the way they touch each other and shimmy to the muffled beat, which gets louder as we get closer to the door.

  • BEN ASSITER Essay
    Basic Channel and Timelessness: Negotiating Canonisation, Resemblance and Repetition in House and Techno Ben Assiter In the related musical worlds of house and techno, there is rarely a shortage of new sounds to complement and complicate what is already a saturated archive. Across a wide spectrum of scenes, from the adamantly underground to the unabashedly mainstream, tracks seem to appear almost as reliably and consistently as the kick drums that characterise the sound. Of course, much of this material has only fleeting significance. Functional, generic ‘DJ tools’ circulate for a short period, before being replaced by similarly ephemeral tracks. Attali’s notion of ‘repeating’ comes to mind, in which ‘the minor modification of a precedent’ becomes the thinly disguised replacement of innovation (1977: 109). Yet, within this ever-expanding cultural cache, certain tracks have managed to attain a greater longevity, forming what may tentatively be thought of as a canonic repertoire. Here I employ the concept of canon in Katharine Bergeron’s prescriptive sense, to denote a ‘locus of discipline’ that constructs standardised values and behaviours, within prescribed and internalised networks of power (1992: 2-4). This formulation emphasises the nature of canons as on-going, cultural processes of construction, and thus as necessary sites for reflexive critique. With these thoughts in mind, I would like to undertake a comparative close reading of two techno tracks that share apparent similarities, both stylistically and in terms of production practice, despite their temporal separation of seventeen years. The first, ‘M-4’ (1995) by Maurizio has, as I will go on to describe, received a degree of enduring critical acclaim that I would argue affords it a canonic status within the genre.

  • DEQ No.15 Interactive
    LETTER FROM THE DEQ STAFF Between the time of our previous edition and the one currently in your hands, Detroit Electronic Quarterly and the Detroit music community at-large lost one of its most generous, encouraging advocates. And quite simply one of the best people ever to set foot within city limits. LaVell Williams made his transition on Saturday Oc- tober 27th, 2018, and did so in a manner reflective of how he chose to live every single day: listening to the music of his heroes, holding hands of those who loved him deeply, and selflessly comforting everyone with grace, love and care. He was a tireless, vocal advocate for numerous move- ments and a generous participant. It was a common sight to see LaVell volunteering at a registration table for AIDS Walk Detroit, helping program the Michigan Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, setting up equipment at the inaugural Detroit Electronic Music Festival, or working with families to present quilts at the AIDS Quilt Project in Hart Plaza. One of the great loves of his life was helping to pre- serve the music and history of the city he loved so much. In 2011, he became a founding member of the Detroit Sound Conservancy. It was not uncommon to see LaVell and Conservancy founder Dr. Carleton Gholz running from a jazz concert at Baker’s to a rock show at the Majestic to an afterhours in Eastern Mar- ket, often all on the same night’s calendar, enjoying each with equal enthusiasm. or, friend, companion, sounding board, punching bag, LaVell was probably best known to readers of this pub- Mother Superior, hall monitor, drama negotiator, refer- lication as a manager of the legendary record store ee, family member and deeply beloved.

  • TONY COKES Music, Text, Politics
    TONY COKES Music, text, politics ► This first solo exhibition by Tony Cokes in Spain aims to be a gateway to the exploration of what the artist calls the ‘representational regimes of image and sound’. ► The exhibition invites us to change the way we process information through reading text, seeing and responding to images, listening to music, and absorbing the political and advertising slogans that assail us at every step. ► Through his videos, Cokes thus explores and subverts cultural and political discourses embedded in pop music, electronics, television, film, and art itself. ► The artist draws from popular and theoretical texts and quotes from a wide range of figures such as Paul Gilroy, Louis Althusser, Malcolm X, David Bowie, Aretha Franklin, Mark Fisher, Public Enemy, Morrissey, and Donald Trump, combining them with the intention of making a political and social critique of capitalism.
