Gregory Whitehead: A 20 Year Survey

A comprehensive twenty-year survey of MP3s, comprised of 52 tracks, varying in length
from a few minutes to over an hour. Several of the pieces are heard here for the first
time; others were commissioned by the BBC, NPR and New American Radio; many are live
air-checks and full-length radio-plays. Also included in this survey are several pieces
of writing by Whitehad on the subject radio, ranging from interviews to manifestoes.


The Tape-beatles, Public Works, PhonoStatic Cassettes

UbuWeb announces the launch of the Public Works archive, consisting of digitial transfers
of dozens of cassettes, LPs, and CDs into MP3s. The Tape-beatles are a collaboration of
varying membership that make music and audio art recordings, "expanded cinema"
performances, videos, printed publications, and works in other media. They work under the
aegis of Public Works Productions. PhotoStatic was a magazine, a periodical series of
printed works, that focused on xerography (photocopy) as a creative medium. Founded in
1983, the title continued in some form until as late as 1998. A companion publication on
audio cassette was dubbed PhonoStatic, with the inaugural issue appearing in 1984. In
all, ten cassette issues were released at roughly six-month intervals, culminating with
the "Audio Collage" cassette in 1989. The complete PhonoStatic cassette archive is
available on UbuWeb.

The latest additions to UbuWeb's collection of legendary downtown New York LPs produced
in the 70s and 80s by John Giorno include: You're The Guy I Want To Share My Money With,
William S. Burroughs / John Giorno, A Diamond Hidden in the Mouth of a Corpse, and John
Giorno & Anne Waldman. Artists on these discs include: Laurie Anderson, John Giorno,
William S. Burroughs, Anne Waldman, Hüsker Dü, Cabaret Voltaire, David Johansen, Diamanda
Galas, Jessica Hagedorn, David van Tieghem, Coil, Michael Gira, and Sonic Youth. (MP3)


Live To Air: Artist's Sound Works (1982)

"Live to Air" comprises an international compilation of artists' sound works. Forty-five
artists were invited to make a work for the context of Audio Arts Magazine with an
approximate duration of five minutes. Originally produced on three Dolby cassettes, this
out-of-print compilation includes artists such as Dan Graham, Vito Acconci, Barbara Ess,
Art & Language, Lawrence Weiner, Jack Goldstein, Dieter Roth, Tom Marioni, Les Levine and
Marina Abramovic and many others. Includes scans of original liner notes and artwork.


Yves Klein "Selected Writings, 1928-1962"

Originally published by the Tate Gallery in 1974, this collection of aphorisms, stories
and photographs documents the trajectory of a lifetime's worth of thought from the great
French conceptual artist. From the introduction: "Klein's work lends itself very well to
this mode of presentation. Although immensely varied in its means it seems to divide into
sections naturally and with unusual clarity as if it were the chapters of a book, each
chapter pressing home one particular point. This characteristic does not, of course, rob
Klein's art of subtlety, mystery or ambiguity-quite the reverse; it is perhaps the result
of his trenchant, often theatrical or ritualistic modes of expression. Certain of his
activities have, therefore, a quality which makes them at once memorable, mythical and
self-defining. At the same time they are all concerned with a single constellation of
ideas."


Andreas Ammer: Selection of Hörspiele, 1993-1999.

Originally produced for German radio (Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Bayerischer Rundfunk,
WDR3). Includes two collaborations with FM Einheit: Radio Inferno (1993) and Crashing
Aeorplanes and three collaborations with Console: Heimat & Technik Das Heidegger-Bootleg
(2000) The Official Olympic Bootleg (2000) and Bugs & Beats & Beasts (1999).


Gertrude Stein's "Geography and Plays"

In an ongoing celebration of the roughly 100th anniversary of Gertrude Stein's Geography
and Plays, softpalate (www.softpalate.org) has matched various sound artists (audio
artists, performance artists, soundtext artists, composers, radio producers, soundpoets,
DJ's, re-mix artists, turntablists, etc.) with texts from Geography and Plays. Included
here are the first five plays as realized by Warren Burt, John Wanzel, Students from
Bella Vista Elementary School and David Braden, and Fadladder. (MP3)

Artsounds

Rare out-of-print double LP from 1985 of artists' recordings. Includes tracks by Larry
Rivers, Marcel Duchamp, Connie Beckley, Cotten/Prince, Minneko Grimmer, Philemona
Williamson, Jeff Gordon, Tony McAulay, Jonathan Borofsky, Les Levine, Burton Van Deusen,
Tom Wesslemann, Marcy Brafman, Philip Johnson, John Burgee, Italo Scanga, Thomas
Lanigan-Schmidt, Bob Gruen, Yura Adams, and Jennifer Bartlett. Includes extensive liner
notes. (MP3)


Stephen Vitiello

"Collaborations and Unreleased MP3s" Stephen Vitiello is a composer of electronic music
and media artist. He works in mediums ranging between installation, internet, video,
film, dance and music for audio CD. Presented here are rare pieces and collaborations
with Pauline Oliveros, Joe McPhee, Tony Conrad, Yasunao Tone and Scanner.


People Like Us "Abridged Too Far" (2004)

For the first time, UK-based People Like Us (Vicki Bennett) is releasing a new album
exclusively online here on UbuWeb. "Abridged Too Far" is a collection of audio work first
conceived through experimentation through or on radio. On this new collection, People
Like Us continues its pastiche of impressions of popular music from Europe and America
from the 1920s thru to 1990s. Vicki Bennett's work is an examination of the affect of
hearing well known tunes and lyrics in fragments, then putting those elements to play--
resonating, intermingling and recombining with the listeners own associations and shards
of memories. Full-color downloadable artwork and liner notes are available.


The 365 Days Project

UbuWeb is pleased to announce the re-launch and permanent home of curator Otis F. Odder's
365 Days Project. This legendary project, in which an MP3 a day -- of mostly outsider,
novelty, and oddball recordings -- was made available for the public to download over the
course of 2003. Briefly taken offline at the end of the project, it is now presented here
in its entirety, complete with images and vast commentary on each selection. The 365 Days
Project is part of UbuWeb's redesigned, newly-named and much expanded Outsiders section.


Stan Brakhage

"The Brakhage Lectures" (1972) Unavailable writings by filmmaker Stan Brakhage
(1933-2003) who gave these lectures as a credit course at the School of the Art Institute
of Chicago during the fall and early winter of 1970-71. Extended essays on George Méliès,
David Wark Griffith, Carl Theodore Dreyer, and Sergei Eisenstein. The original program
included screenings of forty-three films by Méliés, Griffith, Dreyer, Eisenstein, Cocteau
and Edwin Porter. Includes an introduction by Robert Creeley.
