Femmes in Audio Art

From the WPS1 Art Radio audio vaults:

PROGRAM: Recorded Matter

Host David Platzker, former director of Printed Matter Bookstore, is currently director of Specific Object.

Edition #12: First broadcast February 28, 2005

Ready for a Louise Bourgeois rap? A leap into the mosh pit with Janine Antoni? Birdcalls from Louise Lawler? A toy piano riff from Barbara Ess? Laurie Anderson isn't the only female artist to rush the barrier between music and audio art! Here artist/curator Robin Kahn and host David Platzker amuse themselves with one-of-a-kind recordings by women artists who stop at nothing to get the sound they want.
