about

The interest in messing up perfectly good music by Charlie 'Bird' Parker has been a preoccupation of mine over the years beginning with Savoy Trifle (1988), 'cut-up' A-Synchronous Au-Privave (1989) and style-blending Chase the Bird (1991) and the interactive sample work Hey Jazz Fans! (2003). Reflecting on the fact that for almost all of us Parker's legacy has come only from recordings, I set about trying to squeeze a written transcription through the distorting mirror of LP record and CD-like glitches - blips, scratches, hung notes, failing motors and so on. To add to the mayhem, faulty memories of another 'bird' tune, Messiaen's fabulous 'Oiseaux Exotiques' (Exotic Birds), hover in the background.

First Performed by Magnetic Pig at the Totally Huge New Music Festival 05 11 April, Art Gallery of WA
