It is a component part of the larger event entitled "The Rolling Tones 24 Hour Video Opera", an audio visual production that is suitable for performance in most any environmental setting and time structure, since its details will change to suit the occasion of its realization. Some of the source materials for the piece consist of many of my compositions in various media since "Duke of Windsor (1970-71)" such as "Weather, High Fidelity, Radio Music", and "Win A Dream Date With Phil", as well as the entire history of recording and broadcast media, including improvised sounds and images. This presentation opens and closes with "Palm Tree Video", a steady-state video translation of terrestrial tropical and pseudo-tropical phenomena. "Radio Music" (some of which will be heard today as tuned by John Bischoff) is one way of describing man's relationship to his immediate surroundings in terms of the changing technological environment. The piece serves to make audible some of the many high-frequency radio waves that surround and saturate us throughout our lives, using traditional amplification and recording (resonating) media. Its title refers to the "The Radio Music City Hall Symphony Orchestra", a term which I invented n 1968 in New York City to describe musical work with electronic means within contemporary social and political structures. In an optimum performance situation, the music synthesizer system and the TV Typewriter device should be replaced by "black boxes" performing the functions of generating sustaining electronic sounds as desired (in one case) and making the thought energy of anybody present available to anybody else (in the other). The elementary feedback system of recording and subsequent playback could also extend into more sophisticated responsive system, i.e., humans at any distance assisted by computer memory, video/ laser/microwave, etc."--Kenneth Werner, from a poster advertising the event. 541 0 |3PFA 0550-121-8993.|aD0121|cdeposit|dacquired 1992/09 |5CBPF 541 0 |3PFA 0550-121-8994.|aD0121|cdeposit|dacquired 1992/09 |5CBPF 655 7 Personal/independent works.|2mim 655 7 Music.|2mim 690 Performance art. 700 1 Harmonic, Phil,|edirection,|emusic. 710 2 Nu-Tones (Musical group) 710 2 University Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive. 941 0 PFA 0550-121-8993. acquired 1992/09 941 0 PFA 0550-121-8994. acquired 1992/09 946 PFA 0550-121-8993.
