Christian Marclay: Replay, catalogue (2007)

Christian Marclay is an eminent conceptual artist, fascinated with all aspects of popular music and cinema. A collector of audio recordings and films, his practice is eclectic – spanning collage to performance and ‘turntableism’ – and his obsession for collecting and re-assembling contemporary artefacts is infectious. If Marclay’s craft of re-construction is itself musical (the pauses and absences being as much part of the work as the shots and beats), his re-compositions also follow a rich heritage of montage within cinema and experimental film. The book reunites some of his most important films and projections to date and has been designed by NORM in close collaboration with the artist. Five important essays and an interview by Michael Snow bring new light to his work as a performer, musician, visual artist, and filmmaker. Published in collaboration with the Cite de la Musique and the Australian Centre for Moving Image to accompany the exhibition Replay at Cite de la musique, Paris, 8 March – 24 July 2007.

With contributions by Jean-Pierre Criqui, Emma Lavigne, Rosalind Krauss, Peter Szendy, Philippe-Alain Michaud, and a conversation between Michael Snow and Christian Marclay.

Synapse: The Electronic Music Magazine (1976-1979)

Synapse: The Electronic Music Magazine (later Synapse: International Electronic Music) was a bi-monthly American magazine about synthesizers and electronic music published March 1976 to June 1979. During an era when commercial synthesizers were still pretty new and mostly DIY, Synapse was notable for its high production values, interviews with famous musicians, and articles by well-known writers.

The production team consisted of editor Douglas Lynner, art director Chris August, photographer Bill Matthias and managing editors Colin Gardner and Melodie Bryant. After 14 issues they ran out of money and closed down.

The magazine issues have been scanned and posted online by its founder Cynthia Webster at Cyndustries.
