Answer Machine Tape, 1987

Kate Molleson with the latest new releases and live recordings, including Philip Venables' Answer Machine Tape, 1987, a collaboration with pianist Zubin Kanga.

Kate Molleson presents exclusive live recordings and the latest new releases. Answer Machine Tape, 1987 is an extended multimedia work by Philip Venables, developed in collaboration with the pianist Zubin Kanga, focusing on New York visual artist David Wojnarowicz and the turbulent period leading up to the death of Peter Hujar, his close friend and fellow artist, from AIDS-related illness in 1987. The focal point of the work is Wojnarowicz’s answering machine tape from the days leading up to Hujar’s death, featuring calls from Hujar, other artists, friends and lovers. Using new sensor technology, the piano is turned into a huge typewriter to transcribe, comment on and illuminate the messages. Also tonight: saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock performing live at the Donaueschingen Festival with the ensemble Yarn/Wire and the Kronos Quartet with the music of Jlin from a concert recorded last month at the recently launched Bristol Beacon. Plus new releases from Ruth Goller and Polish guitarist Raphael RogiΕ„ski.
