art, performance and musical production Artists from the ‘60 and ‘70 not only used to explore conceptual and language practices through the sound. Some of them have focused on investigating of a new sound condition with which to rethink about the history of music and the involvement of the mass media audience. 1) Laurie Anderson, "O Superman", 1981. Two chords and the repeated syllable "Ha" create a hypnotic loop for the text pronounced with a vocoder with which the performer makes the transition from art to the world of the music. 2) Hermann Nitsch, 56a Action Church S. Lucia Bologne, 1977. He plays the organ during one of his happenings for a Requiem conceived in memory of his wife. 3) Nam June Paik – My Jubilee Ist Unverhemmet, 1977. He plays Schoenberg's record 4 times slower in a dance event by Merce Cunningham in Hamburg. 4) Terry Fox, 552 Steps Through 11 Pairs of Strings, 1976. For 4 hours He plays a gigantic horizontal harp built live imitating the labyrinth of the cathedral at Chartres 5) Charlemagne Palestine, Strumming Music, 1974. He plays a grand piano with the damper pedal pressed for the entire duration resulting in an extremely emotional performance. 6) Marina Abramović, Sound Environment – Sea, 1972. She reproduces the noises and sounds of the physical environment that surrounds her, anticipating the atmospheres of the performances of the "Rhythm" series. 7) Beuys / Christiansen, Schottische Symphonie / Requiem Of Art, 1970. Christiansen plays the piano while Beuys describes his notes on the board and moves objects around the room. 8) Gilbert & George, “The Singing Sculpture”, 1969. They sing upon of the Flanagan recording and the Allen's song 'Underneath the Arches'. 9) Bruce Nauman, “Soundtrack From First Violin Film”, 1969. He experiments the simple and anti-virtuosic gestures on the violin. 10) Max Neuhaus, Electronics & Percussion - Five Realizations, 1968. The composer and interpreter of contemporary classical music celebrates the transition to the world of art and sound installations with five innovative pieces made with percussion and electronic synthesizers. #music #soundart #contemporary #arte #conceptualart #laurieanderson (presso ROMA - città eterna) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYgzqetIny2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Strategies among art, action and the disco object Ten records produced between the 60s and 70s by artists who experimented the alternative languages. The sound events (conceptual, relational, concrete and minimal) focus on the relationship between the listener and the heard object in order to investigate the concept of natural, electronic mediation, art and mass media society. Questions for my students (and not only): 1 Which one is your favorite? 2 In this research, which artist is missing for you? 1) Henry Chopin, vibrespace, 1962: the artist records the repetition of his breath distorted and altered by acoustic and instrumental superimpositions. 2) Robert Whitman, Sounds For 4 Cinema Pieces, 1968: reproduces the sounds of the street, the walks from his loft and the nocturnal sounds of the animals. 3) Bernar Venet, The Infrared Polarization Of The Infrared Star In Cygnus, 1968: re-proposes the absolutely objective story of the astrophysics laboratory in Arizona about the star Cygnus. 4) Jan Dibbets, Afsluitdijk, 1969: it is the sound recorded live while the artist drives for five kilometers on a straight road at a constant speed of 100 km per hour. 5) Lawrence Weiner, A(.)C Sharpened Carried Done Again perhaps ..., 1972: the artist pronounces variations of verbal assonances experimenting the boundary between language and its application. 6) Michael Snow, Musics for Piano, 1975: proposes the melody of a piano recorded on tape first at high speed and then slowing down its reproduction until it stops. 7) Cildo Meireles, Sal Sem Carne, 1975: it is the narrative accounts of the massacres of indigenous people in Brazil, but also the music and rituals related to their culture and how they are seen by whites. 8) Jack Goldstein, A Suite of Nine 7-Inch Records with Sound Effects, 1976: seven individual sounds of events in nature connected to the evocative titles and a specific color. 9) Allan Kaprow, Courtesy, 1977: a telephone rings repeatedly and on the other side a female voice asks to turn the radio on or off. 10) Maurizio Nannucci, Parole, 1979: a sequence of words that the artist recorded in the streets. #soundartist #conceptualart #vinyl #experimental #sound https://www.instagram.com/p/CYY0nMNIMLD/?utm_medium=tumblr
