with one interview or a radical stand against some dirty games aind medical failures that were deep threat to leave me wtih stroke and to lose my miracle and brilliant versatile original god inspired music adn art talent, i begged someone who was close to my sitaution at one time and knew my sick family and that i was connected to my sick famous brother in law he did not like at time either, and asked for radical willed small motion to save life. he did not care to even respond despite that

[weseethroughu]

i went to school and lived with Christian Marclay. He almost put me under wing but i was not a underwing person. i was put through a crisis with my sick family. my friends then abandoned me. i managed to survive and rise up to my own place back in art world survivng medical abuse and witchcraft and other at hands of sick story, and people who would kill for what they wanted. When my miracle of life was challenged and in threat again by same medical failure , i wrote Xristian to ask for help

Gregorian chants have no harmony, a good interpretation of a romantic piece has no concrete rhythm as the performer speeds up and slows down for emphasis, drone music has no melody. Most people would call all of these things music; just because this has none of them, it doesn't mean it is not music (besides, one could argue that it has all three).

[chiliberto]

Ooooh. Maybe someday I'll get an introduction like that....

[boogster123321]

where do you get records that have some of that stuff as music on it?

[gurra9]

If that's your definition of "music" then sure. In my opinion, music is just sound (or lack of sound like 4'33 by John Cage) created for the purpose of being music

[tofuCKYOU]

what is it then ?

don't give that traditionalist narrowed minded speech about what is music and that it's just possible to play it with string or percussion instruments because that's a 19th century old obsolete thing to say. go and read Russolo's Arte dei Rumori manifest... Things evolve, specially ART (music) !

[bytedildo]

Music is melody, harmony and rithm combined. These are only sounds, but are interesting, so this IS artistic combination of different sounds that's what it is.

[sisterenrodentia]

my favorite part is the 'rithm'!

[jokeharmonica]

lame!!!

[Mechanthrope]

Music can have no melody, or no harmony or rhythm. Music is culturally defined. What makes Bach more musical than a river? Society's definition. So really, music is any sound. Everything vibrates and creates sound, so everything is music.

[ollicup21]

agreed! i just wish i could play river sounds for my music theory teachers.

She's the host of Roulette TV. She's also a pianist, for what it's worth.

[rotor]

This music describes well the state i'm in.

(2) Also, even though his first release was in mid 80', his way to invent the use of turntables and his original techniques, influenced a lot of artists... Yes, it's an own hypothesis that Markley too was feed by Tetreault' works, but why not? because the guy begun his career 10 years before? I don't think so. Again, did you ever saw Tetreault on stage? In all respect, we are far away your "Beatles-Radiohead" or "Kilmister-Squire" comparison.

[xootube]

It's Marclay not Markley. WTF?

[NicleT]

(1) Yes, I understand but if you insinuate that Tetreault's work is more a "referential" and Markley more an "abstract" music, then you mist a lot of the work of Tetreault despite all your knowledge about him. From the begining T. was making very concrete music with turntables and still does. He then start to use more "referential" cuts especially with his work with other musicians. In fact, T. has a visual artist approach on sound and music. This was IMO the most important value of comparison.

[mobilesuitrxle]

I think he can take out most hip-hop djs.

[spliffsly]

battle style

[NicleT]

Soooo Martin Tetreault!!!!

[djhekla]

comparing marclay to martin tetreault is like comparing the beatles to radiohead ...

[NicleT]

Do you know who is Martin Tetreault?

[djhekla]

yes, of course... hence the comment. tetreault's turntable work seems to begin in 1986-87 or so, whereas marclay was already quite active by the late 70s in both music and art circles using solely turntables... but that's besides the point; their respective aesthetics couldn't be any more different despite the similarity of their tools... you wouldn't watch a clip of mötörhead and say that lemmy was "so chris squire" - even through they both play a rickenbacker bass...

[NicleT]

Sorry, my replies was posted below

[macflyfilm]

Fun for the bedroom, messing around, or in an film where appropriate, but doing this kind of thing on stage is laughable.

[ColinHanks]

Am i the only one that thinks that just sounded like a ton of noise? I can't believe this guy is talking as if he's created some great music.

[Grrrkrrr]

We love music that sounds like a ton of noise.

[CarrieGates]

sooooooo enchanting!

[culturekiller]

yes, yes, yes. Thank you Christian.
