Christian Marclay was one of the biggest influences on my radio show Free Association.
The Whitney Museum in NYC is presenting a festival of Christian Marclay
exhibits through September 26th. I'm going to try to make it when I'm
in NYC again. More information here. Here Christian is performing on the short-lived television show Night Music. To the casual observer, he's just screwing around. Closer inspection and listening reveals a methodical approach to spontaneous block composition. For example, fast decelerated spins serve as loud, sharp transitions between melodic ideas.
