in '95 yr racer did a lickle music to round off an enviromental installation. having been tutu many dreary EVENTS i wonder whether y'all have been to any great installations where the music has enhanced the experienz rather than you thinking - no damian thats shan, you iz clamped !
the missus is off to see biosphere do there shit this weekend while i take the firztborn to see the fireworks at the WOW festival - am i missing out. i reckon these scando/icelandic nomates get away with all kinds of shit - which iz lapped up as glacial/oceanic/isolationist - shoegazing fer slapheads
did i ask a question in there somewhere, soz ?

So WHaT iZ iT WiF TRouT-SPeaK aND GeoRdieZ aNYWaY?????????
Many years ago, yer fellow northerner went to an instillation @
thee...er....thee laing art gallery. One x-hibit consisted ov a
bunch ov projectors hooked up to sound loops via a fader box. U sat
at the box, and faded up & down thee images and thee musick. E can't
remember who it was by, but it was fuxin' kay-rad, d00d.
er....I quite like that stereolab amorphous body centre thang, and as
far as biosphere goes, I recently got turned onto them by an
electronic musician frend called ian boddy. Damn good, and
I'll surely buy some biosphere produkt soon.
Can I register my vote fer GeoRDie RaCeR to continue contributing,
becuz 'e rules.
Also, I 'ereby solemly promise to try and stop responding to...er...a
certain troller's posts. It'll be hard, fer sure, but I'll try to
respond only to more interesting ILM-ers henceforth!

Two things:
1) I recently saw an installation at the PowerPlant Gallery in
Toronto, and there was one short film that featured people jumping on
mattresses which was less interesting than you'd think, but the
Autechre soundtrack almost made it work. It also had a twangy
soundtrack on Reid and Danny's Motion Machine which was more
interesting musically than visually (let me take this moment to
lament the loss of Reid Diamond, ex-of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy
Planet, to cancer earlier this year...you will be missed).
2) I contributed environmental music to a piece at the local small-
town art gallery a while back. Trent Brolund's work was, to put it
mildly, rather dark for a small prairie town, featuring window frames
with broken glass, with prints of macabre images pasted to the back
of what remaining glass there was. My contribution was a Lustm0rd-
style industrial drone looped in the background. I thought it worked
together fairly well, but I'm not sure whether our townsfolk agreed.

I saw a Bill Viola installation at the Whitney abt 2 years back and
the sound was awful; a million whooshy synths approximating
some foetal indication of an UR-DULL aesthetic. Fit perfectly
with the visuals.
