The Difficult Listening Hour playlist for 12/26/2008
The INVISIBLE GENERATION: I, your intrepid host, Esteban Caliente, read aloud on the air the great essay about audio manipulation by William S. Burroughs called "The Invisible Generation." Then I play an hour-length cassette tape realization of an experiment that Burroughs discusses in the essay. We round out the show with a portion of a recorded internet audio collage performed live by Vicki Bennett and Steev Hise in the year 2000, called "The Streaming Lounge."
I hope you enjoy and, remember, as Burroughs said, The only way to counteract control is to re-record the tapes and cut them up - "cut the pre-recordings into air, into thin air."
