Fluxlist Protest Event
SPAM 'EM

To:Staff of The Museo of Contemporary Art of Maracay
Re:"Remembering the Action Art" Event Against Xenophobia

I protest the cancellation of the above event, scheduled for
November 29, 2000.

In particular, one performance by pedro ...pez entitled "e-mail
my body" involved pez scanning his body in 20+ portions, and
emailing one piece to participants in all corners of the earth.
The recipients were then to tattoo the portion and return the
completed work to pez, which would be made whole and published on

the internet in conjunction with the accompanying musical score
and script.  More than 20 people, including myself, around the
world have been anxiously awaiting participation in this work
against xenophobia and we are bitterly disappointed.  It would
seem your cancellation is in itself an act of xenophobia.

I support pedro ...pez' efforts and I urge you to reschedule this

promptly.

Sincerely,
P.K. Harris

Though their gimmick was similar to 2 Live Jews, M.O.T. (Members Of The Tribe) weren't 
just any Jewish hip-hop parody team. In actuality, Ice Berg and Dr. Dreidle were 
record industry big-shots in disguise, and their 1st album "19.99" was filled with 
puns and spoofs like "Kosher Nostra" and "Viva Oy Vegas.

FLUXLIST: Can classical learn from pop?

Can classical learn from pop?

Rock no longer borrows from the avant-garde, says Richard Wolfson - it is the avant-garde


CLASSICAL and popular forms of music have always been interdependent. Indeed, the Western classical tradition was formed by linking religious forms and popular folk music. In the middle of the 20th century, something extraordinary happened, though: this interaction became a torrent, flowing mainly in one direction. Ideas and techniques developed by the classical avant-garde were absorbed by rock music. These sounds and methods have remained at the heart of popular mainstream culture.

Closer than close: never were Robbie Williams and Pierre Boulez so similar, probably much to their own amazement

Yet, since the 1980s, the classical tradition that opened these new channels of expression has appeared to regard them as cul-de-sacs, no longer worth exploring. Pop music has taken up the torch of the avant-garde.

Two current albums are good examples. Radiohead's Kid A, which received a mixed reception from pop critics due to its supposed weirdness, draws on ambient melodies, sound effects, repeated, aggressive bass riffs and obscured vocals, to create a convincing sound picture. There is not a conventional pop song in sight. Hip hop artists the Wu-Tang Clan, in their album W, present cut-up fragments of R&B and soul, bits of orchestral music, street talk, sound effects and electronic manipulation, collaged to create a dangerous and fragmented sound world.

These are only two artists among many; the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers dig deep into sampled loops, electronic manipulation and noise, all pioneered in the Fifties and Sixties by classical experimenters. Cult rock group Sonic Youth recently released a double album of their own performances of classical avant-garde works. Never were Robbie Williams and Pierre Boulez so close, probably much to their own amazement.

Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart were perhaps the first to start things off in the mid-Sixties. Zappa's group, the original Mothers of Invention, managed to fuse extended compositions inspired by Stravinsky and Varese with satirical rock cabaret, doo-wop and free jazz. More than 30 years later, Zappa has been claimed by the classical fraternity, and has been performed by several groups specialising in 20th-century concert repertoire.

The strongest current of influence from classical to pop came from composers around the American John Cage in the Fifties and Sixties. Cage incorporated the sounds of the environment and noise into music, building bits of rubber and metal into the strings of his "prepared piano", and calling on radios, tapes, chance procedures and games to unlock the Zen and magic in the production of sound.

Two composers associated with Cage, La Monte Young and Morton Feldman, assisted in the direct transfer of ideas from classical to pop. Young's ideas took minimalism to previously unheard of lengths. In the mid-Sixties, his Theatre of Eternal Music employed John Cale, a young Welsh viola player, to produce extended amplified drones - effectively one note for hours at a time, with only microtonal changes. When Cale joined the Velvet Underground a year or so later, he took the drone idea into the group, and pieces such as Venus in Furs still sound shocking and absolutely contemporary.

Out of this environment Terry Riley, Steve Reich and Philip Glass began to use tape loops and repetitive rhythmic cells. Compositions such as Riley's A Rainbow in Curved Air, Reich's Music for Eighteen Musicians and Glass's Glassworks are interesting because they hover so perfectly between popular and high art. Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells is a well-known spin-off from these sources, and these composers still provide fodder for acquisitive new generations of sampling musicians, such as DJ Shadow.

In Germany, Stockhausen was creating an incendiary fusion of serialism and electronic experimentation in works such as Kontakte. Among his students were Irmin Schmidt and Holger Czukay, founders of the rock group Can. They learnt at the feet of the master, and then promptly disobeyed him, ploughing into hypnotic concoctions of jazz, electronic noise and heavy rock.

In parallel, the Hamburg-based Faust were teaming up with Deutsche Grammophon engineer Kurt Graupner; Graupner built them multi-effects units that enabled each musician to throw sounds around the speakers, and into bizarre sound processors.

Yes, 'twas I, Princess Petal (sometimes known as Princess PieNapple),
who sent the Luther card winging your way.  Oddly enough, I received it
in a mailing from Italy the day you and Sol were discussing him (or her)
(or it).  More later about that pie.
