Text of
Light
CD STARLIGHT FURNITURE
"Text of
Light was formed in 1999 to perform improvised music
during screenings of films by Stan Brakhage and other
American avant-garde filmmakers from the 1950s and '60s.
These should not be considered soundtracks for Brakhage's
works, which are intended to be screened 'silently'.
Rather, the group uses the films as an element to stimulate
improvisation, like an additional player, juxtaposing
film and music in a real-time performance mixed-media
collage.
On this CD the group, in various combinations, includes:
Lee Ranaldo and Alan Licht on guitars and devices; Christian
Marclay and DJ Olive on turntables; William Hooker on
drums and percussion, and Ulrich Krieger of Zeitkratzer
on sax and electronics."

Text of
Light Group
052402 echo 4
12" /TABLE OF THE ELEMENTS
"The visionary
ensemble Text of Light first gathered in 1999 to perform
music to the films of Stan Brakhage and other members
of the American Cinema avant garde of the 1950s-60s
Brakhage's film Text of Light was the premiere performance
and namesake of the group, whose original premise was
to improvise to (rather than 'illustrate') works from
this under-known era of personal expression and breathtaking
visual poetry. The group features Lee Ranaldo and Alan
Licht (guitars/devices), Christian Marclay and DJ Olive
(turntables), William Hooker (drums/percussion), Ulrich
Krieger (sax/electronics), and most recently Tim Barnes
(drums/percussion). This beautifully packaged LP is
the group's first commercial release, and features original
artwork by the late, great Harry Smith."

Lee
Ranaldo
Music
for Stage and Screen
" Most of the material on this CD is based around
recording sessions which included myself, Alan Licht
and Christian Marclay. Later on some material was added
from sessions with William Hooker and Gunter Muller.
I am indebted to all of them for their help with this
project. Most of what the final tracks came less from
real-time playing but rather more from constructions
created in the studio utilizing the various recorded
material. During the progress of creating these cues
some of these projects overlapped and certain cues were
utilized in more than one setting; thematic material
shows up in different variants as the projects demanded.
My thanks to the directors involved for inviting my
music into their works. "
