Click here and read my interview with Tino Haenen (creative director of Amsterdam's Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ) in the newest Subbacultcha! magazine (pages 28-33) or pick up a physical copy if you're in town. Sorry about the bragging, but I am so excited to see this in print. Hope you like it.

Back here. Loads of catching up to do. More good stuff on the Subbacultcha blog.

Going here for the week, yesss!

Water Walk (1960) & Variations V (1965) - John Cage
Read this really cool, excellent, nice, interesting interview from 1987 with Cage by John Held, Jr.

I put a nickel into the phone, and I called the number that Max had given us when he visited the Arts Club in Chicago. This time he didn't recognize my voice. And he said, "Are you thirsty?" And I said, "Yes." He said, "Well, come over Monday for cocktails." And so that was the end of the conversation. And I went back to Xenia, and she said, "Call him back!" (laughs) She said, "We have everything to gain and nothing to lose." So I called him back, and he said, "Oh, It's you." And this time he recognized my voice, and said "Come right over. Your room is ready." And it was then that we met anybody whom anyone would want to meet in the artworld.

Rose Hobart - Joseph Cornell (1936)
Compiled from snippets of the B film East of Borneo, an eclipse documentary, Nestor Amaral's song "Holiday in Brazil" and a deep blue/purple filter.
Read more about Cornell, he was eccentrically cool. Watch the full version here and here.

Speaking of films/videos, go to Stories. It's an interesting, well executed idea/project.

It's cold outside, I'm staying in, thanks.
