UK premier of a new film by Christian Marclay composed and annotated to be read as a graphical score, interpreted at KYTN by three of the most exciting improvising musicians in Europe. A stalwart of the downtown music scene Marclay’s interests exist across traditional artistic boundaries. A pioneering force in the early 80’s New York, melding the DIY punk/no wave ethos with a healthy slab of Fluxus performance, Marclay turned his attentions on the turntable and thrift shop vinyl, using damaged and re-assembled recording to create his music. More than a musician, his vision also takes in striking video pieces, filmworks and installations, remarkable for the startling simplicity of their ideas and their obsession with sound, its meaning and its representation.
