520 "This live performance is another in a continuing series
of worldwide cultural events, prepared with the intention
of helping to de-mystify the relationship between people
and art and technology. 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.
