Description:

Module on fresh sounds by Eric Rosenzveig

Come spend the day listening to things you never, ever heard before - John

Cage creating the world's first composition for turntables... United

States 'end of the world cult' church services.... ritual music from

Brazil, Morocco, Nigeria.... pioneering electronic music works from Czech,

French, Swedish studios of the 1960's... french actress Yvete Mimieux

reciting Baudelaire with accompaniment by Indian classical master Ali

Akbar Khan... Gurdieff's keyboard works... The Velvet Underground teaching

Nico the words to their songs... scotchtaped skipping CDs... 100 bagpipes

from the Rhodopa mountains of Bulgaria... 100 electric guitars performing

a ''symphony'".. speaker swinging... free improvised music from Tuva...

Sun Ra... The Portsmouth Sinfonia... Burmese classical music for slide

guitar... homemade 'cracked' electronics... noise, sound, music...

If Lynch and Kubrick can grab music from Penderecki, Fellini from

Indonesian Wayang Gender, Jodorowski from Free Jazz & Moroccan Gnaoua and

Bollywood & Enio Morricone from everywhere, maybe some fresh music will

kick your soundtracks. Come open your ears to all the ways music has been

made on our planet over the last hundred years. Sound art or art using

sound - what's the difference? What are the roots of today's electronic

pop music, today's Hip-Hop? How can I 'dub' my own soundtracks - dub

reggae that is. How is 'this or 'that' music composed or created? Why?

What are its antecedents, its future?

A module for hearing differently. Includes tips on where to find sources
