back then, while growing up and starting to think in visual terms,
I always looked with envy at people working with sound
there was a certain freedom there
the instant gratification
being in the very present
perhaps the most important was that sound is there and it isn’t
it is invocation
it is a potential rather than a content
change is not a choice
so one day I got myself started
since then it is part of my vocabulary
it never leaves me alone
it completely expands your language
to work with sound waves is to travel through universe

Hello from Deep Listening Space in Kingston NY.
Thank you Joshua for your review of the concert with Malcolm Goldstein and I on July 13. Reviewing events is usually missing for the kind of work that we present. It would be great to get a reviewers circle going to make known the extensive music that is happening in the area.
It is good to see this Blog and to be a beginner participant.
Cheers to all.

| Malcolm Goldstein and Pauline Oliveros, July 13 ‘03, Kingston NY
If You Weren’t There You Missed Something Anyone who made it to the Pauline Oliveros Foundation’s space at the Rondout in Kingston, yesterday, for the appearance of Malcolm Goldstein was treated to the latest and probably the last word on gestural microtonal development, in a response to the legacy of e.g. Darmstadt, that was the ultimate touché. Goldstein’s development of every conceivable expression possibility within the scope of the bow-to-instrument interface left me asking where does the bow end and the violin begin? Likewise, Oliveros’ masterful harmonic development techniques intensified the premise of their microtonality which exhausts the research on where composition is bypassed by development at the site of the instrument itself. At times these two masters played with such freedom that one experienced music presented in positive exposure while, freely and suddenly, either performer could flip their expression to inter-negative. It’s a rare treat when performance space becomes available to this genre. |

the ongoing issue is a fragmentation of our cognitive apparatus
attention span melted down to nanoseconds
art versus art market relation is flattened down to pancake
artist is being transformed from seer to gear through boutiqization
i want to hang something in my living room honey… lol
the speed of tech changes make life a wild ride on a wave
god don’t let me crash & get creamed & tumble down under
but hej some can manage to get nice and round tubes… lol
thats my boy!
in the end art is an interface between sanity and insanity
the rest is leftover
a madman is not only a beggar who thinks he is a king but also a king who thinks he is a king
