Two more of our elders have left us.
The NY Times notes the passing of Liam O'Gallagher.
Liam O’Gallagher, an avant-garde sound artist, painter and teacher whose San Francisco studio became an early gathering place for Beat writers and poets in the 1950s, died Dec. 4 at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif.
“Chinatown” (1960), a work by the artist Liam O’Gallagher. He was 90.
The obit mentions his “Border Dissolve in Audiospace” from 1970, a fuzzy, echoing recording in which directory operators are called and asked to look up various numbers.
You can hear it here. It was produced in the studios of KPFA in Berkeley, and I did the engineering. It's also available on an Other Minds re-issue here.
I still remember Liam being a remarkable person, even though I'd lost touch with him over the past 35+ years.
Another is sound poet Henri Chopin,
who passed away on Wednesday in England at age 85. Much of his work is available here.
Some recent videos are here.
