Author(s): Mark Fell

NOISE / INDUSTRIAL / EXPERIMENTAL

This extensive anthology brings together diverse materials charting the development of pioneering artist Mark Fell's defiantly unorthodox practice.  An amalgam of workbook and manifesto, this title interweaves diagrammatic sketches, procedural systems, drawings and photographs with philosophical essays, cutting polemics, instructional texts and fragments from the artist's personal notebooks, offering multithreaded perspectives on time, technology and aesthetics.  Alongside reflections on theory and practice, the volume includes exercises for dismantling musical expertise, habits and intuitions, documenting Fell's explorations of the peripheries of rhythm, shape and time in perception and performance.

Long-term collaborator designer Joe Gilmore provides a striking graphic context for Fell's evolving thinking and the methods and structures he has developed through his solo and collaborative work.
