I guess to describe yourself as 'radical' to begin with seems presumptuous...<div><br></div><div>I did see this chap at the Brainwashed festival in Boston a few years ago and he was engaging if a bit bonkers!<br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 16:19:29 -0500<br>From: jeffreymelton@gmail.com<br>To: microsound@microsound.org<br>Subject: Re: [microsound] radical computer music<br><br>I don't get it, myself. The Wikipedia article reads like a cross between Hakim Bey, KLF and Psychick TV, but the video feels for the most part like a mockumentary. Is it a stunt, like a Danish Die Antwoord? I dunno.<br>

I read the Wikipedia article about "Radical Computer Music" first...<br>
and it sounded like it could be interesting.<br>
<br>
However, after watching the video, I was completely confused about<br>
what it had to do with music, computers, or indeed anything<br>
"radical"... The guy just seems like some second rate<br>
conceptual/performance artist, whose ideas look better on paper then<br>
they do when you actually see or hear the work.<br>
<br>
I also couldn't really get any kind of coherent idea of what "Radical<br>
Computer Music" was supposed to be about or why it is needed... no<br>
doubt there's plenty of room to critique academic computer music, but<br>
this video just left me completely bewildered as to what was going on.<br>
