Product information "Vito Acconci / New Humans: Disallow"
A1. Untitled Vito Acconci / New Humans, 2007 Recorded live by [...] at Elizabeth Dee Gallery, New York, Spring 2007
An unreleased live recording of a collaborative performance by Vito Acconci and New Humans that took place within the sculpture installation "Disassociate" by artist Mika Tajima at Elizabeth Dee Gallery, New York, in Spring 2007.
During this improved music performance with New Humans, Vito Acconci reads permutations of text from a set of seminal audio works he chose - recombining lines and phrases on the move against a shifting, acute and minimally deadpan sonic progression.
Text include "V.D. Lives / TV Must Die" (1978), "Now Do You Believe The Dirty Dogs Are Dead" (1978), "An Idea Of Storage At A Small Gallery In Downtown Chicago" (1979), "Cry Baby!" (1977).
B1. Sympathy For The Devil
New Humans, 2007
A song stripped leaving only the minimal register of anonymous static noise. A shadow of
itself it now the resembles the crackling prelude on a vinyl record. The cue is the replacement.
B2. Waiting Game
New Humans, 2007
The anticipatory humming drone produced by a guitar amp becomes substance. The performance
of the void, a lost reference.
Producing used Sunn Beta Lead head with Peavey 4x12 Cabinet and single coil American
Fender Stratocaster.
The sound pieces on Side B were an ongoing sound element in the "Disassociate" installation
in which the performances and recordings occurred. The pieces were playing during the Vito
Acconci / New Humans recording and subsequently buried by the live performance.
