Airwaves / Same / One Ten Records-1977 US
Some generalizations: This record is not an art object. All the people on this record are artists. Many of the artists present themselves in a gallery situation: live in performance, electronically through installations. Often these situations are theatrical. None of the artists consider themselves actors. There is no proscenium. It is a floorshow. Most of the work in the anthology is musical. Like most of the music in the world it is predominantly vocal. You can dance to at least two of the selections. The artists combine the bravura and risk of the musician (filter) with the intellect and risk of the composer (source).
The concerns here are not the cocerns of painting. Sometimes there are references to art. Sometimes structure is the subject matter. Often the subject is the past, or more precisely personal observations on the events of the past, or more precisely, memory. The injection of the self into the past adds to a feeling of literary-ness.
As in opera, what we hear is influenced by what we see, how much of the story we know, and if we understand the language. As in any performance situation, the energy generated by the performance is more than, and perhaps more interesting than, the information presented. You had to be there often what is done is not repeated. This is a record. - B. George (covertext) -
