Thank you very much
I think we perform them
I'm just writing about that for a talk on 22nd - the talk was scheduled
and this seems to be something worthwhile talking about; so I'll maybe
have some organised words by then. I say maybe because - as I was saying
to Guy yesterday -- I may find I have drafted too much and have to cut as
part of the final write up. There's a lot to say
Guy makes films and has a general approach of crossing borders and
boundaries -- and we have been playing around with recordings and so on.
He's a wonderful artist to work with in that regard. Very open. But we
haven't explored sonic performance yet.
I am bemused by Dundee's take on _foreshore_ in their curatorial notes. It
reminded me of a section in Tim Ingold's LINES: A BRIEF HISTORY where he
speaks of those who listen to words for meaning rather than sound render
sound as the essence of music and language as mute - it may have lost
something in my retelling
So Guy and I are creeping up on performance of this work as performance
But I am proposing - shall propose -- to Benedict Taylor that he and I
perform them; and we were talking yesterday - Guy and I -- about making a
rough cut film for B and I to perform to
So yes
But that's to be explored...
At present there's a man who makes books and a man who makes sound pieces
building 3d scores without yet performing them!
