David Dunn: Autonomous and Dynamical Systems
$17.99
A relentless explorer, composer, performer and theorist, David Dunn (born 1953) uses electro-acoustic resources, voice, non-human living systems, as well as traditional instruments. A creator of text-sound compositions, environmental installations, works for radio and video, he has also written and published extensively. Underlying all his work is a common regard for music as a communicative source with a living world. Growing up in San Diego in the sixties and seventies, he encountered people like Harry Partch and Kenneth Gaburo. He worked with Partch for about five years, and continued to be in his ensemble for a decade after his death. His association with Gaburo was even longer, and lasted until Gaburo's death in the early 1990s. This CD features four new compositions, all for electronic sound makers of one sort or another, and all four reveal his innate musicality. These are works that live between the arts and the sciences, coming from his lifelong involvement with interdisciplinary ideas. Lorenz is a collaboration between Dunn and chaos scientist James Crutchfield. In this piece, Crutchfield's program for exploring chaos equations, MODE (Multiple Ordinary Differential Equations), is linked through an interface program called OSC into a sound synthesis program. The sound synthesis program feeds information back through OSC into MODE, so the whole thing is not only a use of chaos to control sound-it's a feedback loop itself, embodying the principles of chaos not only in its mathematics, but also in its very structure. Another aspect of Dunn's work has been setting up interactive systems within nature, whereby humans, machines, and the environment interact with each other. In the mid-1980s, as the technology became smaller, and cheaper, he began a series of works where he tried to set up interactive systems in which the environment could interact with itself. Autonomous Systems: Red Rocks is the latest in this series of works, and possibly the most elegant

China's West--TheGuangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region andThe Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region
$19.99
When I got this DVD I didn't really know what I was getting. The DVD has four short programs. Two on the Guangxi Zhunang Autonomous Region and two on the Inner Monogolia Autonomous. The first program of each is focused on business and the material wealth of each region. And second program of each focuses on the tourism and the culture of each the region. At first it felt like they were trying to get the viewer to invest in the area or to come live there. And maybe they are. Made for Chinese television it may have been designed to draw more Chinese to those areas. The frontiers of China, the western regions, are not looked at as places of adventure and riches, like Americans used to think of the Wild West, but as wild uncivilized wastelands, with hostile minorities, and hold no real attraction to the city bred folks.
So the DVDs are interesting, in they tell you about those regions, but also are interesting in they may be devices used to try to get more Han Chinese to move to those areas.
