One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest
September 20, 2004

One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest is definitely as good as everyone has been saying... Here's a crafty snap taken by Rob [you rebel!]... Should have told that woman in front to sit down though!

Check out Rainer Linz website, particularly for this piece on Percy Grainger... Percy Grainger [1882 - 1961] was an Australian composer and pioneer of electro-mechanical music technology. And something of a Godfather of sequencing... Using razor blades and sticky tape to correct piano roll performances of his work long before studios were doing the same thing with analogue tape and digital sequencers were doing the same with midi. Composing orchestral pieces in sections and letting the conductor decide what order to play them by holding up lettered cards, thus pre-empting the technology used by Ableton Live. His Free Music Machines pre-dated Brian Eno's Ambient and Generative Music ideas by some years. Find out more in Volume 6 of the Leonardo Music Journal from MIT Press... Back issues are $32.00 mind! Which reminds me... Interested to read about Paul Schutze work, via City Of Sound

The KLF's, The Manual is now available, in its entirety, online. Another thanks to Things for that one.
