This record was released in December 2021 by Rick Myers, an artist / writer in Manchester, England, on the experimental label Cejero in Copenhagen, Denmark, in a limited edition of 12 copies.Includes sound poetry ~ 300 collage songs, about 2 minutes. DL code included.The following is a commentary by the writer himself.This LP forms an index played on a group of works called "Obstacle Corpus" that includes drawings, texts, photographs, book works, videos and sounds.In the recording, I played the spoken text, alternating between the two pianos.The text was distributed into a new text named "Field", using the titles of the 40 so-called "obstacles" artwork produced during 2, and was written in two parts in a drawing format. ..The tape that recorded the performance was exposed to a magnetic field, amplified using the physical contact between the electromagnetic waves and the strings of the piano, creating a circuit that occasionally sparked while short-circuiting during recording, and was played through the piano. --Rick Myers, December 2019 It was only a matter of time before Ric Meyers' journey as a visual artist, film maker and writer finally converged on the gramophone format.For those who have followed his 75-year development from a prominent graphic designer to a variety of self-promoting artistic activities, it was nothing more than a long-awaited one.He has held countless performances and exhibitions (not to mention the Library of Congress and Harvard University), including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Poetry Library in London, the White Column in New York, and the Onasis Cultural Center in Athens. ing.Little is known about his involvement with Stanford University and Tate Britain, who keep Rick's artist books and project archives, but perhaps the ones that most deeply affect record buyers and so-called non-musical patrons. It will be the restoration and re-release of the index of the primary information publisher and his hard work, Broken Music.Rick may take some time to agree with the idea that the auditory gesture he had been waiting for would book the item once in the books of Ashura Brock and Michael Grasmeyer, but he You will lose the battle.Given that this Mankunian-raised, Massachusetts-based "actor" was able to release such records at any time in his life, and the problem is always "when", the above It is possible that none of them are particularly relevant.As a longtime friend, the sounds on this record are a mysterious "Rick" if you ask a trained composer to compose music solely on the man's personality. It may be the sound of "Myers" ...Of course, I'm not surprised that Rick made this record himself, but I'm very happy to be surprised that he succeeded in communicating his own art more accurately through this highly relevant medium. ..Rick Myers in Obstacle # 2: Indices, with the rare exception of the words emotional, sensitive, beginning, and risky magical when discussing art records made in similar formats. May be exploring more territory than he intended.Why continue to use the word music in the first place for those of us who are trying to decide how to listen to records in categories such as non-music, anti-music and broken music.Obstacle # 2021: Indicators may actually be a genuine non-musical record for those who like a little music.The noise carved into this piece of plastic is a useful by-product of Rick Myers' artistic discipline: Popol Vuh, François Tusk, Karel Gavers, Gruppo di Improvise ione Nuva Consonanza, AR Luciani. , Catalin Radick, Jean Guerlain, Igor Wakevic, Milan Grigger, Jean Dubfe, and those who also appreciate the film soundtracks of Andrey Kordinsky and Jean Claude Banier's prepared pianos.Do you feel good?Behind the scenes of the production of this album is Rick's artistic business (read another article about this), but let's say this here. I fascinated me with two open pianos, a magnetic field, and a transducer mic.The mechanically manipulated audio text here is the sound of an unabashed Mankunian betting his ball 12 miles away from a comfortable place, and for me who buy too many records, this slender The precious energy that is rarely entrusted to records in the days of Apple Zet is condensed.
