12'30 . ZBS Foundation, NY Tom Marioni "regarded 'sound as an element that
could be used as a sculpture material, which could only exist in time
and was not static. To me it seemed that the sound should be the result
of an action that I made'. The drum-brushing was an exponent of these
ideas. He developed a sound performance in which the rhythmic action
of drum-brushing on paper both reflected his meditative state and described
the process aurally and physically. On the paper the continual abrasion
of the metal drum brushes marked the surface creating an image of the
process." (Suzanne Foley). At the same time the recording marked the
audiotape with the sound-image of the performance/process/sculpture. |
