The Wild World of Jeff Turtletaub



While searching for videos featuring Michael Smith's ongoing performance project, Baby Ikki, we found a youtube channel called wildworldproductions
The videos are titled The Wild World of Jeff Turtletaub and according to the channel,
[were] conceived as a general interest talk show / showcase centered around a group of talented (and not so talented) New York artists in the late 1970s / early 80s. It aired on New York City's public access cable Television for a total of 4 shows between 1979 and 1982. 
Guests included Klaus Nomi, Michael Smith, Georgeanne Gillespie, Jenny Holzer, J.D.King, Andrea Kovacs, Ann Magnuson among others. 
It was produced by Mark Fischer, Jane Brettschneider, Marc Kehoe and Jeff Turtletaub, who hosted the show. Mary Clarke served as co-host. The artist Keith Haring was a cameraman for the first show.

Noise and Capitalism


Noise and Capitalism, explores noise and improvisation in music, improvisation as a social activity, alienated language as noise, the conditions of the production of noise and its emancipatory possibilities.

'Noise’ not only designates the no-man’s-land between electro-acoustic investigation, free improvisation, avant-garde experiment, and sound art; more interestingly, it refers to anomalous zones of interference between genres: between post-punk and free jazz; between musique concrète and folk; between stochastic composition and art brut. – Ray Brassier 

Contributions from Ray Brassier, Emma Hedditch, Matthew Hyland, Anthony Iles, Sara Kaaman, Mattin, Nina Power, Edwin Prevost, Bruce Russell, Matthieu Saladin, Howard Slater, Csaba Toth, Ben Watson.
Edited by Mattin & Anthony Iles

The book is available as a free PDF file from the Arteleku Audiolab website, and will be published in Spanish and Basque in 2010.
