PROBES #12.2
Auxiliaries
The PROBES Auxiliaries collect materials related to each episode that try to give a broader – and more immediate – impression of the field. They are a scan, not a deep listening vehicle; an indication of what further investigation might uncover and, for that reason, most are edited snapshots of longer pieces.
We have tried to light the corners as well as the central arena, and to not privilege so-called serious over so-called popular genres. This is the auxiliary in which harpsichords boldly go.
In this tenth instalment, Chris Cutler looks at the human voice and its aesthetic reinventions. To be continued in episode 11.
PROBES #11 goes oral: everything your mother wouldn’t tell you about what people can do with their mouths, and a little bit of spit.
In Chris Cutler's PROBES #12 harpsichords return from the dead; a spectre is haunting music: the harpsichord.
