Michael Snow

2 LPs

Chatham Square New York N. LP 1009/10

"The recording process became part of the music" - e.g. when Michael Snow whisteld into a microfone or put a microfone on top of his piano with the recording volume way past its proper maximum...

The dense text which covers all the faces of the record-sleeve is set in smaller and smaller type is a reflection on the record, recording and its "doumentary" qualities, on text and image and music, and it is a dialogue with the reader. " The following should be read aloud or sung", it says at one point and at another "maybe this is better as "image" than as literature". Etc.Etc. Four sides of 2 LPs to listen to and/or four faces of the LP sleeve to read and/orthe LP just to look at.
