Release Notes:
In the feudal stage of music, the human body is the medium in which musical
memories are stored, as well the primary instrument with which musical sounds
are created. Musical practice is an "expressive attribute" of the whole
community; the purpose of music is collective participation. As a result, no
piece of music is ever "completed" and thus available to claims of personal
ownership. In any case, in feudal music there is no productive distinction
between musical composers and musical performers: specialization of roles has
not yet occurred. Since no one is an "expert," improvisation plays an important
role in the generation and perpetuation of this music.
In the capitalist stage of music, written notation is the medium in which
musical memories are stored. Because of the precision of notation, new
instruments are now in constant demand; indeed, under capitalism, the design and
production of musical instruments becomes a central (even industrial) feature in
the life of music. Musical practice becomes highly specialized: composers of
music and performers of music begin to split into two groups, giving rise to
tremendous advances in technique, but also to the loss of a common musical
vocabulary and understanding. Notation also creates the necessity for
"completed" works of music, "definitive" scores and copyrighted reproductions
that can be circulated and stored as commodities. A rehearsed sound that is no
longer limited to a studio recording but a live performance that is a mere
replication of the production.
Finally, in Tim KinsellaÆs solo work, recording is the medium in which musical
memories are stored. No "new" musical instruments are necessary for music to be
played or to progress any further. Recording technologies themselves can be
"played" as if they were instruments, rather than simply functional devices;
they can be used to "memorize," analyze and manipulate their own sounds as well
as any sound (created by a properly musical instrument or not) that has ever
been recorded and made available. As a result, recording flattens out any
distinctions that might have once been drawn between the "high" forms of Art
Music and the "low" forms of Folk and popular music. The end result a single,
flowing collage a very diverse assortment of commodified sounds.
