Description

Terry Fox "Linkage" LP issued by Kunstmuseum Luzern (RP 10 152) in Switzerland, 1982. Gatefold sleeve with a 36-page LP-size book. ****** Rec:m / Cov:m- / Book:m- ****** Sound art LP editions by the Art Museum of Luzern, Terry Fox "Linkage" (LP + 36 page book) is one of the finest and rarest documents of long string installations. The American Terry Fox (resident in Europe for several decades) is probably unfamiliar to even ardent searchers after Minimalist obscurity. He’s far better known in the art world, thanks to his involvement in cathartic performance art alongside Joseph Beuys, and a longterm interest in site-specific installations. Much of his work deals with the specificity of space, drawing extensively on the geometry of the labyrinth in Chartres cathedral. A “sculpture” in Paris saw him open fire hydrants, letting water run through the streets to augment the cobblestone textures. His very occasional recordings document a marked preference for sound art (the organization of sound in space) over music (sound in time). The excellent LP “Linkage”, issued by the Art Museum of the city of Luzern in Switzerland, includes the documentation of Acoustic Wire Sounds. To Fox, the wire is a sculpture rather than an instrument, and the sound it makes is that of the room (acting as a giant resonator) and not just the wire. He’s far from alone in his enthusiasm for long strings, although other enthusiasts, Paul Panhuysen, Alvin Lucier and Ellen Fullman, are all better known in the music world. "Ether, the News, the Vicar and the Cowboy, the Bear, Sign Off" was recorded in the attic of the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, West-Berlin, in May 1981. A piano wire was stretched 33 meters between two vertical wooden beams and attached at each end by and eye-screw and turnbuckle. The wire was tightened and tuned by adjusting the turnbuckles. Two microphones connected to a battery operated portable tape recorder were placed on a chair directly under the wire. A metal sardine can held in contact with the wire acted as resonator. The other side of the LP links five ways of playing the acoustic piano wire. As Terry Fox wrote: "…sound is a means of communication, a universal language. It enters the healthy ear without impediments of language or prejudice. It is perceived by every culture in the same way: via the auditory canal. It enters the ear without consent of the listener. It vibrates the eardrum. It requires no intellectualization. No intelligence is necessary. No common language need be spoken. Illiteracy is irrelevant. Sound pauses as pulses in the air. Performance is for me an attempt to discover a language or method of communication which bypasses these barriers as sound does. The most important aspect of performance is the elimination of media or mediating or condition. The action is performed live and in front of its receiver. It exists only on these terms and in this context and no other: like eating. My work with the labyrinth led increasingly to the almost limit less sculptural possibilities of sound". Included in the "Broken Music" catalogue. Top conditions and very very rare today, your chance to get a copy in perfect conditions now! ****** The record looks like it has never been played.
