SPRING 2008:

'PERCUSSION' AS PERCUSSION
Information as Material is proud to present ‘Percussion’ As Percussion
CD - 22mins - 32pg booklet - 2008 - Product code: 5-060163-970010
















‘Percussion’ As Percussion is a sonic reading of John Mowitt’s book Percussion: Drumming, Beating, Striking and an attempt to grasp how rhythm makes sense in music and society. Fowler charts the encounter between theory and practice implied in Mowitt’s book to produce a critique of the ontological delimitation of percussive theory and it’s social consequences for ‘drumming’. This CD, co-produced with Nick Thurston, features a foreword by musician James 'JLIAT' Whitehead, an introductory essay by poet Bruce Andrews, an appearance by vocalist Liz Tonne, and an afterword with John Mowitt himself.

“Jarrod Fowler’s ‘Percussion’ As Percussion is uncanny. On one level, it is utterly surprising, unanticipated and unsettling. It takes the work of reading — the time, the pace, the modes of attention — in directions and to places it rarely goes. Yet for this very reason I found it strangely familiar, utterly attuned to one of the driving theses of the text, the intricately differentiated yet coherent rhythm of the percussive field. Here, reading and listening touch one another in ways that question our relations to both.”

— John Mowitt, Professor at the University of Minnesota

DISSEMINATION AS RHYTHM
JMF025 - JLIAT [JLIAT] CDs & Vinyl - Scattered & Spread
"Rhythm precedes the apriori - rhythm establishes the conditions for the apriori - as also it establishes the conditions for existence - rhythm preceded language and philosophy. If only the absolute is beyond/before rhythm then is rhythm the demiurge - is nihilism the phantasy of a lack of rhythm - rhythm is the source of meaning- and the greatest weight... the eternal return of the same" - JW

TRANSLATION AS RHYTHM
Jarrod Fowler is the author of Translation As Rhythm, from Errant Bodies Press.
CD - 77mins - 12pg booklet - 2006 - $10

















Jarrod Fowler’s Translation As Rhythm is an investigation of reference, reflexivity, and stasis through the reactivation of the contents, methodologies, and structures of past compositions. With attention to this CD’s external partaker-specific meaning-making processes, internal associations, and fundamental presentation, Fowler advances a considered historical position of post-conceptual and post-minimal thought, practice and status. The CD specifically references Ludwig Wittgenstein, Erik Satie, John Cage, Joseph Kosuth, James “JLIAT” Whitehead and Fowler himself. Translation As Rhythm’s contents include: percussive sounds conveying periodic and aperiodic structures, speech synthesizers, numerical lists, noise drone, field recordings and a supplementary booklet.

"Jarrod has covered every inch of the CD packaging with manifestations of the concept, translation as rhythm, at the same time keeping it aesthetically pleasing... Jarrod’s work is very straightforward but also very confusing if one expects instant revelation without effort...The question that Translation As Rhythm raises, whether the organization of qualitative transformations is a rhythmic act or sets off a series of rhythmic occurrences, is an interesting one and in truth cannot fully be addressed by language."

- James Edwards, Blogger

"Of all the Cds I've heard this year, Jarrod Fowler's Translation As Rhythm is the one that has raised so many questions it almost seemed impossible to review... Translation As Rhythm demonstrates that there really are no rules to making sound commodities... Translation As Rhythm's working methods are beyond the pieces themselves and become dispersed into the world beyond by patient listening and thinking."

- Marc McLaren, Furthernoise.org

"Interesting? Hell yes! Difficult to understand and get into? Hell yes! I just had to check out his site and learn more. Did I? Hell no! So, what have we here? We have serious art, packed in a normal CD case, presented to the public as music. Is it? You tell me!

- Roel Meelkop, Vital Weekly

"This CD like many other listenings like it goes beyond simple criticism and apart from the performative judgment every other aesthetical consideration becomes useless and above all subjective."

- Andrea Ferraris, Chain D.L.K.
