CINEMA AURICULAR

OHM TAPING: TAPE COMPOSITIONS & MUSIQUE CONCRETE
Barbican Cinema 3 ­ Thursday 18 October 2001 ­ 7:30pm

Before the sampler: the tape machine. Before the break-beat: the tape loop. Before plunderphonics: musique concrete. Going back to a time when it was inventive and original to play with and re-appropriate snatches of sound gathered from disparate sources. Pre post-modernism from pre-eminent filmmakers.
