040 - FOOTSTEPS: Christian Marclay
Produced and recorded by Christian Marclay
1990 - RecRec Music (Switzerland), RecRec 26 (single-sided LP)
Note: taken for the record liner notes by Christian Marclay:
"From June 4th through July 16th 1989 the floor of one of the Shedhalle
galleries, Zurich, was covered with 3500 copies of a record titled FOOT-
STEPS. During the six weeks of the installation, people were invited to
walk on the records-willingly or not, they had to step on them to reach
the adjacent galleries where other sculptures were exhibited. The one-
sided record, containing the sopunds of footsteps, was recorded in Decem-
ber 1988 in the deserted hallways of the Clocktower (N.Y.), and in the
studios of Harmonic Ranch (N.Y.), where Keiko Uenishi's tap dancing was
mixed in. During the gallery installation the work could be looked at,
stepped on and walked through, but the recording was never heard, its
content merely suggested by its title. Over the course of six weeks, more
than 1500 visitors walked over the fragile floor, contributing to the
final composition by altering the records' surface with dirt and scrat-
ched. At the end of the exhibition, the records, which were attached to
the floor with double-sided tape, were removed. The record enclosed in
this package is one of them. When played, the footmark scratches and
recorded footsteps blend in a final aleatory composition of rhythmic
patterns, with as many variations as there are records. One thousand of
these records have been made available, apart from a special edition of
one hundred copies signed and numbered. Dedicated to the memory of Fred
Astaire."

1996 - Plag Dich Nicht (Austria), 002 (CD)
Note by Jon Rose: This record is an edited version of the piece TECHNO MIT
STORUNGEN that took place on 11/11/95 as part of the festival "music unli-
mited" at Alter Schlachthof Wels, Austria. The original piece lasted two and
a half hours. The DAT used for this CD was recorded directly off the mixer,
consequently there were some problems with the balance and sound on the tape
which would not have been audible in the concert space. So to compensate,
this document you are listening to now has been a little "produced" using
standard studio techniques... Hopefully it retains the spirit of the origi-
nal performance.
