Jeck, Philip

Stoke

... "This is his 3rd CD for Touch, after Loopholes and Surf. He has also released a CDR, Live in Tokyo at ICC. All tracks are edits of live performances recorded in Liverpool, Manchester, Osaka, Tokyo and Vienna except Lambing, which was recorded at home in part for a film by Lucy Baldwyn. Stoke was made using Bush, Fidelity and Philips record players, Casio keyboard and Alba portable CD player. The notion of turntablism may be associated with flashy, deck-hopping scratch gymnastics, but the use of the record player as an instrument harks back to a less ostentatious tradition of music making. John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Schaeffer, and James Tenney recognized records and turntable mechanisms as manipulable sound sources. In essence, sampling began with the real-time deployment of gramophones in performance by these artists and academics. Philip Jeck, like peers Christian Marclay, Otomo Yoshihide, and Martin Tetreault, legitimizes the turntable as a musical instrument." Format: CD Album
