Turn/Stile: Interpreting Udo Kasemets' Calendaron for a Single Turntable with Treatment and Surfaces

Turn/Stile: Interpreting Udo Kasemets' Calendaron for a Single Turntable with Treatment and Surfaces LMJ13_02body_005-096 11/25/03 2:57 PM Page 75 E-mail: treddell@du.edu . Web site: www.du.edu/~treddell The article introduces two Web-based multimedia projects and a recent series of live laptop performances and webcasts. These works describe an intersection of electronic literature, digital sound art, DJ culture and networking technologies. At the center of this intersection, the author positions the Web browser as an imaginative cultural interface uniquely capable of confusing received distinctions between media and moments of content-gathering and sampling, composition, performance, publication, distribution, broadcast and reception. Here writing and reading become digital performance pieces, extending creative practice into the domains of information access, retrieval and reproduction. Ultimately, the works characterize the civic function of organized sound in terms of telephonic connectivity, pointing toward the promise of collaborative streams and multidirectional remixes taking place within mobile sites of improvised transmission. The LITMIXER project appeared in the music/sound/noise issue of the Electronic Book Review in November 2001 (Fig. 3). The multimedia component is a literary sampler loaded with phrases read from Derrida’s “Plato’s Pharmacy.” The accompanying user’s manual draws attention to itself as an experience of mixed quotations and remastered theories.
