Jackson Mac Low
Poet and performance artist Jackson Mac Low leading students in sound performance, and reading his own work. Bard College, 03/27/1979.
Due to machine malfunction, parts of this recording skip and fluctuate. The listener is encouraged to explore both the edited MP3 (for clarity) and the unedited WAV (for strange and protracted silences, as well as oscillations in volume; whose inclusion is perhaps more in the spirit of Mr. Mac Low’s work, and its relationship to chance)
