Carry An Old Tune

Three parts of a short film called “Sound” featuring Rahsaan Roland Kirk, John Cage and David Tudor among others. Directed by Dick Fontaine. Something about Oldenberg and his piano luggage calls up Roland Kirk with all those horns and it’s nice to see Cage in action, holding back that tiger and fox and all those pet sounds. The whole thing feels like if Goddard ran MTV and if you let the You Tubes fully load, you might get them to play sychronicity, which is almost even better. These images are made from the verso sides of recent drawings, where the ink and paint bleads through printed photos.
