Pianoless Vexations Rick Moody, Tianna Kennedy & Hannah Marcus (17'28") Rick Moody played guitar and sang. Hannah Marcus played violin, tambourine, and sang. Tianna Kennedy played cello and sang. Words were composed by Rick Moody and mainly attempted to ape the spirit of the original music. Our idea was a sort of modified Old Time band playing the piece as though it were a music hall favorite from the fifties. We were occasionally successful, at least in the pizzicato sections. From Pianoless Vexations in UbuWeb Sound ""These pieces represent a small sampling of the audio work that I've done over the years. I started making audio when I bought a copy of the Sonic Foundry editing software package known as Acid. I think it was in 1999 or 2000. Simultaneously, Dean Olsher and Emily Botein, who at the time produced a radio program on WNYC called "The Next Big Thing," since rendered lamentably dormant, gave me a chance to broadcast some of my audio experiments. They also put me in touch with some amazing collaborators. Almost all of these pieces were made with musicians and sound artists who know a lot more than I do about how to make art of this kind. Among them: the great Kurt Hoffman (once of the Ordinaires, etc.); Australian radio's pre-eminent audio artist, Sherre Delys; her partner and collaborator Chris Abrahams, and my band mate (in the Wingdale Community Singers) and songwriting collaborator Hannah Marcus. They really deserve more than half the credit. There's some other work that I hope to add to this archive down the road a piece. So stay tuned." -- Rick Moody Rick Moody article in Wikipedia Pianoless Vexations on UbuWeb
