Christian Marclay
'Shuffle'
The Council Chamber,
Finsbury Town Hall, London
Saturday 18th August, 7.30pm
Shuffle is an artwork-cum-book that takes on the form of a deck of playing cards. Emulating a Fluxus box, a John Cage 'chance operation' or Eames' House of Cards, the deck of cards, each respresenting an image of musical notaion as captured in quotidian life- is intended to be used as a spontaneous musical score. To coincide with the publication Shuffle in print, Marclay invited a lineup of top musicians to interpret the score and bring Shuffle to musical and performative life.
The musicians:
Steve Beresford (electronics)
John Butcher (saxaphone)
BJ Cole (pedal steel guitar)
John Edwards (double bass)
Sylvia Hallett (violin and musical saw)
Alan Tomlinson (trombone)
Byron Wallen (trumpet and flugelhorn).
