| fo(a)rm no. 4 (topography)
144 pp., 7 x 9”, perfect-bound, full-color cover
(with exclusive cd: ghosts and others by phill niblock)
fo(a)rm no. 4 (topography) treats the movement over, through or across a landscape and the act of documenting, utilizing or noticing an interaction with that landscape. it concerns a mapping of the points between self and space - traversing and/or transforming natural and urban environments. within these pages, intelligent perspectives find fertile soil.
included within are essays by sound theorist douglas kahn (noise water meat) on spherics and and cultural theorist steven connor (dumbstruck) on listening to sound-art, lengthy interviews with minimalist luminary phill niblock and whitney biennial artist julianne swartz, revealing articles on sound-installation projects by composers marc behrens and eric la casa, conceptual artist sreshta premnath’s carbon-paper traces of lived experience, public interaction and social sculpture by swiss artist san keller and portland-based sculptor david eckard, composer/improviser jean-luc guionnet’s series of “linescape” drawings, an historical essay on the holy wu-t’ai mountains in 11th century china by eliot weinberger, charles stein’s striking visual language works, poems by william fox, haleh hatami, andré spears, jibade-khalil huffman, and rachel daley and a delicately vibrational cover by sound-artist seth cluett.
(topography) also includes, in conjunction with sedimental records, the never-released and radically different sound-work by phill niblock, ghosts and others. this cd is only to be found in fo(a)rm....
i am happy to announce the long awaited issue fo a rm magazine 4 (topography issue) that includes an exclusive soundwork from phill niblock entitled "ghosts and others" pressed by sedimental. this release and expanded interview is the realization of a never completed project between sedimental and the now defunct publication n d. sound artist and composer seth nehil who is also 1/4th of publication fo a rm proposed completing this project and all parties agreed.
the material on the cd is a very different work that phill created for an installation at mj scumacher's studio five beekman series in march of 1998. because this material is much more of an audio collage/field recording than phill's typical composed droneworks he never felt comfortable for it to be released as a regular document but in fact it was his idea to include it with the interview i had conducted with him later that year in '98 to be published in n d.
phill has never allowed the document to surface expect for the free copies he has circulated over the past several years. this is the first formal, and only, release of the document. it is a full length cd. |
