I am always grateful when Carol Borden of The Cultural Gutter tells me I should check something out. She knows my tastes pretty well and when she said I had to see Rabbit Trap, I knew I would need to do so (see her write up at the link). It hits a lot of my…

Sounding Line – Mella Shaw
Sounding the alarm of the precarity of everything at the McManus: Mella Shaw’s Sounding Line installation offers an unsettling reminder that we are killing the world. Her immense white ceramic sculptures — modelled on the tiniest of inner ear bones of whales — attach to thick red ropes through which sonar pulses run. The same…
Get Some Magic: Cronework CD
My contributor copy arrived of the very cool CRONEWORK cd from FU&Yr A-Sides and Difficult Art & Music. Wow, it’s a terrific collection and no, I’m not just saying that because I’m on it. It offers a real range of music all tied together with the theme so these are magical works that engage with…

What I’ve Been Reading
Because I have to wait on some things — always irksome — I will quickly (very quickly) mention a few things I’ve been reading so you will not think I am simply lazing around (although some of the books are meant to be exactly that). Also doubtless I will leave out all the research-oriented things…
Deep Listening: The Story of Pauline Oliveros
DEEP LISTENING: THE STORY OF PAULINE OLIVEROS I will not even pretend to any objectivity about this film: I contributed to the fundraising and to my considerable surprise, I am ever-so-briefly in it during one of the Deep Listening workshops at RPI. Discovering Oliveros and her concept of Deep Listening transformed my life-long fascination with…
