As a kid, Glenn Gould would turn all the radios and TVs in the house on full blast in order to pursue a tactile relationship with the piano. "What I found through the work is that the
connection between the percussive sound, images
and music (I'm not sure there were also music or
just sound). I thought there are common things
between acting typing and playing piano. I felt
that I am inside of the huge machine which made me
a small part of the room(machine), and the two
speaker which made different sounds is both of my
ears. So I tried to move from one speaker to
the other. I was able to think about a relations
with a machine on a human way. (It sounds too
abstract ;;)" "I was being really stupid here, it took
me ages to work out what was happening, I
thought it was a spaceship, or a massive
computer. It was only when people began
speaking after the screening that I realised
that it was a mute piano so I think that my
experience of the piece was altered beyond
ordinary recognition by idiocy."
"The Last Resort Method is either
madness or brilliance." |
