Who is there ?”… and I was playing them backward and I started hearing all sorts of really interesting verse-reverse things. I heard very plainly on one of the tapes “Lao Tse” which was the backward sound version of “who is there ?” It goes one way and then “Lao Tse” for some reason goes the other. It works very well bilingually because of the inflection. “Who are you ?” is “Juanita” backward. Well, especially languages that have a lilt at the end you know, “Juanita,” or “Lao Tse,” you know, anything that kind of comes up at the end. I mean, it doesn’t work anything like palindromes that are written backward situations.'' — {small}(Laurie Anderson, [Interview by Kate Horsfield and Lyn Blumenthal, 1977\|http://www.fnewsmagazine.com/2006-apr/interview_1.html], published Apr. 2006, Fnews, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago){/small}{br}{br}{br}---- '' ''Song For Juanita'' was composed in 1977 for tape-bow violin, voice and piano. It begins with a voice recalling a summer spent in a Buddhist monastery. The narrator explains how she heard a voice in the night saying “Juanita”, which she later realized was “anata”: a word that means self. Throughout the work, there is a soft, meditative piano motif.{br}At one point in the piece, a syllable of “Juanita” – “juan” – is played and reversed to say “no one no one”. There is a soft speaking voice in addition to the manipulated one, which creates a subtle, playful counterpoint. Through her attention to song structure, sound and the spoken word, Anderson strikes a delicate balance between narrative and form, experimentation and craft.'' ---- \| {br}{br} ---- {html} <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6ZyXwcsboGs?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> {/html} ---- {br}{br} {br}{br} !!!1977 — Ethics is the Esthetics of th Few…ture (Lenin) ---- — — '' ? — part of the series of songs available to be played on discs (45 rpm single) via the jukebox machine at the Holly Solomon Gallery in New York for the Jukebox exhibition.''{br}{br} \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t \|t ---- ''One of the statements that I was especially interested in at the time was something that Lenin said : "Ethics is the esthetics of the future," which, I thought, could be understood in at least two ways. ^[With the ''Tape Bow Violin''^] Lenin's aphorism "Ethics is the esthetics of the future" became, ironically, "Ethics is the esthetics of the few" when I stopped the bow just short of the last syllable.'' — (Laurie Anderson) ---- \| ---- {html} <b>Ethics is the Esthetics of th Few…ture (Lenin) </b> <i>(1977)</i><br> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" width="350" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer"> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="movie" value="webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" /> <param name="flashvars" value="mp3=https://jeromejoy.org/files/articles/anderson/1977_twosongsfortapebowviolin.mp3&bgcolor=FFFFFF&showtime=1&autoplay=0&autoreplay=0&volume=100" /> </object><br><br><i></i> <br> {/html} {small}from the double LP [Airwaves\|https://www.discogs.com/fr/Various-Airwaves/release/789843] (One Ten Records ‎– OT 001/2), 1977{br} Under the title : ''Two Songs For Tape Bow Violin : Ethics Is The Esthetics Of The Few-Ture (Lenin) / Song For Juanita'' {/small} {br}{br} ---- {br}{br} {br}{br}
