Resonance FM composer and noise prankster Dan Wilson walked away from this year’s Arts Foundation awards as the winner in the electronic composition category. Asked what he would do with his prize money, he revealed that it would be used to build an improved version of “Corrosion Suite”, an electromagnetic composition in which the sound of rusted and rusting materials would form the basis of a new soundscape… or whatever.
The truth is I hardly understood because I was far too excited to see him win to pay too much attention to the details.
I wonder if supporting your favourite conceptual artist is something like supporting a football team. You get to follow their ups & downs, and you can be sure that their lives are more painful or ecstatic than your own.
