Am i the only one that thinks that just sounded like a ton of noise? I can't believe this guy is talking as if he's created some great music.

Fun for the bedroom, messing around, or in an film where appropriate, but doing this kind of thing on stage is laughable.

comparing marclay to martin tetreault is like comparing the beatles to radiohead ...

Do you know who is Martin Tetreault?
yes, of course... ...( 1 year ago by djhekla)
yes, of course... hence the comment. tetreault's turntable work seems to begin in 1986-87 or so, whereas marclay was already quite active by the late 70s in both music and art circles using solely turntables... but that's besides the point; their respective aesthetics couldn't be any more different despite the similarity of their tools... you wouldn't watch a clip of m ötörhead and say that lemmy was "so chris squire" - even through they both play a rickenbacker bass...
(1) Yes, I ...( 1 year ago by NicleT)
(1) Yes, I understand but if you insinuate that Tetreault's work is more a "referential" and Markley more an "abstract" music, then you mist a lot of the work of Tetreault despite all your knowledge about him. From the begining T. was making very concrete music with turntables and still does. He then start to use more "referential" cuts especially with his work with other musicians. In fact, T. has a visual artist approach on sound and music. This was IMO the most important value of comparison.
(2) Also, even ...( 1 year ago by NicleT)
(2) Also, even though his first release was in mid 80', his way to invent the use of turntables and his original techniques, influenced a lot of artists... Yes, it's an own hypothesis that Markley too was feed by Tetreault' works, but why not? because the guy begun his career 10 years before? I don't think so. Again, did you ever saw Tetreault on stage? In all respect, we are far away your "Beatles-Radiohead" or "Kilmister-Squire" comparison.
