  • The P0litics of S0und / the Culture 0F Exchange
    The P0litics of S0und / The Culture 0f Exchange Online Panel Discussion Live from January 31 - March 23 2005 with Kenneth Goldsmith, Douglas Kahn and John Oswald Moderated by Lina Dzuverovic Lina Dzuverovic Subject: The P0litics of S0und / The Culture 0f Exchange Posted: Jan 31, 2005 2:12 PM The practice of cutting-up, appropriating and repurposing existing content in the creation of new artworks was central to 20th century artistic practice. From Marcel Duchamp’s ‘Erratum Musical’ (1913) which spliced together dictionary definitions of the word ‘imprimer’ with a score composed from notes pulled out of a hat, via William Burroughs’s and Brion Gysin’s ‘cut-up’ technique used to allow new meanings to ‘leak in’ by re-cutting existing texts, to John Oswald’s releases which mixed and altered several musical sources, the history of the 20th century avant-garde can be read as the history of appropriation. The availability, immediacy and ease of use of digital networked technologies in the last decade has made the link between the notion of 'the original' and artistic value more tenuous than ever, ushering in a new chapter in the debate around appropriation and the role of the author. The early years of the Internet enabled independent musical and artistic networks to flourish and operate somewhat ‘under the radar’ of commercial production, often establishing their own gift economies and adhering to rules decided by the network participants themselves. But this brief period of ‘making it up as we go along’ when it comes to file sharing, distribution and exchange is coming to an end in the face of endless attempts by the music industry to understand, co-opt, capitalize on and engage with cultures of exchange introduced by online networks and grassroots initiatives.

Recordings were selected for inclusion on the basis that they feature Beat (or Beat- connected) writers, performing their own or others' works, in interview, or as the subject of documentary audio or video. Readings - and songs and other tributes to these artists - by artists who would not themselves warrant inclusion have been ignored. Thus Charles Laughton's reading from The Dharma Bums, for example, must be passed over for the purposes of this appendix. BBC Sound Archive material has been included only where also held in the British Library Sound Archive.

  • Sometime In, I Think, 1966, When I Had Become Interested in Working with Electric Guitar, I Asked Morty Would He Consider Writing for It
    The Story of Morton Feldman’s The Possibility of a New Work for Electric Guitar by Chris Villars In 1966 Morton Feldman wrote a piece for electric guitar. He wrote it for his friend and fellow composer Christian Wolff, who gave the first performance later that year in a concert at the Library and Museum of the Performing Arts, New York. In July 1966, shortly after the premiere of the piece, Feldman and John Cage recorded the second of their famous radio conversations for radio WBAI, New York. In this conversation, Feldman spoke about the piece: MF: […] I wrote a piece for electric guitar, and I tried to overcome the fact of an electric guitar. And so Christian came over to the house and I had him try various things, very strange things and strange registers, and when it didn’t sound like an electric guitar, I wrote it down (laughs). I mean, it seemed too obvious just to write a piece for electric guitar. He plays it very beautifully, very hesitant. JC: Merce Cunningham told me it was marvelously soft ... MF: Yes. JC: ... and yet it was coming through an electric sound system. MF: Yes. JC: And it was still very soft? MF: Yes. It was very difficult to do (laughs). JC: I know it would be. It must have been magnificent. MF: I have to recopy it. I gave him the only score. I wasn’t sure about the piece. In fact, when they asked me for a piece for the program, I said, “Well, there might be a possibility of a piece for electric guitar,” and that’s what they wrote down in the program, “A Possibility of a Piece for Electric Guitar”.
