Splicing records to create a rythm, Amazing! But one question. Why, at the end of the vid., do you see his hand move when he's being rewound? During play-back, his hands are in his lap. hmmm.

I'm sure that would have been a very cool concert, indeed.
I like the way he not only uses collages of semi-random audio snippets in his performance art, but also his music sculptings and alternative use of soundmaking.
It's not an easy thing to pull off, and do it convincingly! I would love to see who a crowd would applaud more: 10 minutes of a performance by Down10 or 10 minutes of Christian Marclay!

Mixmaster Mike ... ( 9 months ago by scarletxrisis)

Mixmaster Mike makes real musical art
please keep to the sculptures, your not making music man. And I do not believe it to be art either.
I think mixmaster Mike probably should be making the money you do
I am sorry, right from the heart. go hiphop
o yeah, and watch the documentary "Scratch" for some ref to the time/year hiphop started using turntables and records. I believe it's said wrong here that he started before hip hop did

Mixmaster Mike does ... ( 8 months ago by koolkruger)

Mixmaster Mike does make art and gets paid very well. You know, the Beastie did sell ALOT of albums and have played countless sold out shows over the years.
I dont think you 'scarletxrisis' know or represent hip hop. Hip hop parallels punk closely, you know the Beastie Boys's began as a punk band. Hip hop and punk are about doing your own unique original work, not coppying. True that Christians work dosent fit into the DMC tradition, it still represents to the fullest Hip hop's ideals,

Go take your " ... ( 8 months ago by koolkruger)

Go take your "Scratch" dvd and listen to the director commentary for "Scratch" They talk about Naut Humon. He started and owns Asphodel records. He produced Mix Master Mikes first solo album. His label was the "Blue Note" of hip hop. He let the artists do whatever they wanted. Naut led the directors of the "Scratch" to Christian Marclay and they had footage for the movie "scratch" but couldent include it in the movie because there was so much good footage and so little time.

koolkruger, what do you think of Bush jr ?

Have a listen to Marclay's scratching on John Zorn's "The Big Gundown" - especially the track "The Battle of Algiers" - then come back here and try to justify your ignorant and silly comments.

christian marclay ... ( 6 months ago by jonbecker03)

christian marclay ISN'T a part of the hip hop tradition. he is (or was) part of the downtown "new music" scene, along with people such as john zorn, elliott sharp, and anton fier. and his work is best appreciated when he is functioning as part of a group, not as a solo artist. as for the "financial" angle, i'm surprised to see marclay living in such lavish quarters. i never thought he made all that much money. but maybe he's a trust fund baby. (he WAS, after all, born in switzerland.)

thank you for explaining
this is what I expected
art is getting weirder and weirder, and the upperclass thinks it is great. they are also willing to pay very well for it, I just don't get it
that is what made me feel a little confused

Duh. He actually ... ( 6 months ago by burningmartin)

Duh. He actually makes and sells art for a living and does rather well with it. He's not just a "musician."

...but can he carry a tune?
i think it's intriguing idea-wise - but compositionally this is mostly slop.
i like the rubber bass, though.

as duchamp said, 'it is art if i call it art'. the fact that all you are talking about it... and the more you think about it the more you are talking about it... the farther away you are from it. so stop talking and thinking and just do art... lighten up life is to short. best part of an album is the hisssss you don't get that on a cd- it is to clean.

why don't folks just like what they like and get on with it? i don't understand the need to categorise into positive and negative, this music that music.
