Afri-Cola-Werbung mit Neuer Musik
„Sexy-mini-super-flower-pop-op-cola – alles ist in Afri-Cola“ Auf Anzeigenmotiven wurden zu dem rap-artigen Slogan berühmte Models der 1960er wie Marianne Faithfull, Amanda Lear, Donna Summer, Marsha Hunt hinter einer Glasscheibe mit Eiskristallen abgebildet. Die Idee dazu war nach Wilps Angabe bei einem Besuch des Marshall Raumfahrtzentrum in Huntsville (Alabama) entstanden, wo die Saturn-V-Rakete damals gebaut wurde: Der in der Werkshalle gelagerte, tiefgekühlte, flüssige Sauerstoff führte zu Eisblumenbildung an den Fenstern der Umzugskabinen, hinter die Mitarbeiter Pin-up-Fotos der 60er-Beauties gehängt hatten.
Danke für den Hinweis, NN!
Lachenmanns „Marche fatale“
Bemerkenswert, die konzeptuelle Wende. Wenn ich auch finde, dass das Werk ästhetisch auf dem Stand von 1919 ist, wenn überhaupt – Ravels La Valse finde ich abgründiger als Lachenmanns pfiffige Kontrapunkte.
The Record as Artwork: From Futurism to Conceptual Art (1977)
Ein schöner, wichtiger Katalog (und toll, dass er publik gemacht wird), der aufzeigt, wie der Konzeptualismus einst aus der Musik heraus entstanden ist.
Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at Fort Worth Art Museum, Texas, 4 December 1977 – 15 January 1978;
Lecture „The History of Sound Art“
Philosopher Christoph Cox traces the history of sound art from the invention of audio recording in the late 19th century to the genre-bending compositions of John Cage to the explosion of sound installation in the 1960s. Cox surveys a range of sonic practices, revealing how they resemble and resist approaches in the visual arts.

Sampled Instruments from Pre-Columbian America
Schön, dass derlei gesichert und verbreitet wird.
The Metaphor of Sound, a recent exhibition, at the Museo del Oro in San José, Costa Rica invited visitors to ask these questions – and many others – as they took a tour of more than 60 musical instruments dating from 500 BC to 1550 AD. Flutes, bell clusters, whistles, maracas, ocarinas (a type of wind instrument), and rattles from the North and South Pacific as well as the Central Caribbean region of Costa Rica were among the objects on display.
Music was of great social and cultural importance in pre-Columbian societies, particularly for the collective as whole. And so it was only fitting that, after having been brought into the Metaphor of Sound project through colleagues, Charly Fariseo – a musician, producer and Ableton Live trainer based in San José – decided to take the archeological idea of preservation and interpretation one step further.
Fariseo asked himself, why keep these instruments in ‘silence’ when we have the ability to extract their sounds, share them with the world and explore them with today’s music technology? With this in mind, Fariseo dove into the task of making multi-sample recordings of some of the exhibit’s instruments and then building them into playable Ableton Instrument Racks.
