RLW moves in to the world of sound art with his piece The
Archivist's Nightmare.
RLW: An archivist´s nightmare The
nightmare has been produced as a sound feature for radio resonance, London, in
mid 2003 and was aired on internet October 3rd 2003. It is dedicated to Benjamin
Green and would not have been possible without the help of Dorothea, Soeren, and
Sonja. Index points are set for your pleasure. The feature itself embraces the
whole CD. Total Time: 60:00
Some notes:
...i will read the titles of the last records i got (i guess
about 1000 should fit into one hour). selected, insofar as i'll leave out those
i found not worth listening to anyway. no criteria of order otherwise (therefore
the title). ... imagine a future archivist interested in
experimental/avantgarde/underground - however you will call it - sounds of the
past 21st and 20th century, trying to find a path... rlw, april 2003
in an earlier mail i told you i would like to add some pieces of mine to the feature. Meanwhile i think this only would distract the listener´s attention from the reading. Instead i will additionally read parts of my letters to you and include these recordings in the feature. this additional level of self-reflection will also be of use as an structural element. rlw, may 2003
sounds fucking great.. and i can sense an opening of possibilities? working with children is something I would be interested in doing, with some kind of structured improvisation/game pieces? strange? i keep getting a very high pitch sound in one ear when I type loudly, which reminds me of yr piece. ben green, may 2003
thanks for the radio feature. it´s really great. the funniest thing i´ve heard in a long while. it´ s a weird thing, initially i thought these were the records that would get played later, and then i started thinking like ´got that one, heard that name before, did the cover for that one, dunno this`. jos moers, june 2003
