Marco Fusinato MASS BLACK IMPLOSION (TREATISE, CORNELIUS CARDEW)

MASS BLACK IMPLOSION (TREATISE, CORNELIUS CARDEW) 

Marco Fusinato’s works are almost always serial, as if demonstrating a thesis, using a set of rules as ‘controls’ for experimentation. Certain parameters are applied to the given source material, and the results displayed non- hierarchically as objective data.

Performance of Alvin Lucier's "Criss Cross" at Musée du Louvre last night

Life is great.

Learning that a Hiwatt Custom 100 with all settings on 1 or 2 facing a wall can create a profound sense of delicacy and wave movement/transference. This is what rehearsing/learning with Mr. Lucier is like.

Thanks to Oren, Mr. Lucier, Mr. Volkov, Charles Curtis, Nanxi and her team at Louvre for making this great night happen.

This afternoon, recording of said piece at the GRM, together with Mr. Lucier and Oren.

Visit to Frank Gehry Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation Bois de Boulogne

Posted: Oct 15, 2013

Was fortunate to have a very friendly private guided tour of the site of this new Frank Gehry creation in Paris last week. Have never been able to see the scale of his structures interior in progress before. It's something between dream of Fitzcarraldo (1982), a collapsed Grand Palais, emerging blue whale and abstract Viking burial object. I find it striking.

Mr. Chéreau, who also acted and wrote for the screen, came to international prominence in 1976, when he staged a p...
