Sound Museum - Ken Nordine

Right Now

Before we go anyplace else

I want you to go with me to a special place that I know

It's a museum

But it isn't an ordinary museum

It's a very abstract museum in

Which they show sound paintings

If you can say that you show sound

But I don't see why you can't

But here we are in this corridor

Some of the most beautiful works of art are here

Here's one right here

This is by a very fine young artist

Here let me turn it on

That sold for two thousand dollars

Makes a lot of money actually

Doing these things

But now I'd like to turn your

Attention to this work by an artist who is a

World War One veteran

Actually I don't feet that this for me

Says what he intended itto say

And yet there are those

Who listen to it and it says a great deal to them

Well here I'll turn it on and you'll see what I mean

You can see that he uses limited color range

Of course that's

Understandable

I'm glad that it's here though

But enough of that lets go on to

The next work I want you to see

Now this is a sound painting

That is indicative of the neurotic

Feeling of our time

The artist is very young shows great promise

And I'm glad that the work is

Exhibited here

Let me turn this painting on

I think you can see my point

Now the artist that did this fortunately is

Under seditives at the

Moment and we expect that his later

Work will be much calmer and quieter

But we do like to give these young neurotic artists a chance

And so I'm glad that the museum has been big

About the whole thing if it were

But lets go on because there's one work here

That's been done by Jonnes

Cunningham

This is a professer from another country

Actually but his work is reveared

Here

We have quite a few of his works

But this particular one I want you to

Listen to very carefully

Because it has an exquisite sense of rythym

This is a young man who has six children

And it's amazing to me that he can

Turn out this kind of

Work at home with the children around

But he says that they help him

If you'll read it

Cunningham says dedicated to my six children

Well here I'll turn it on and you can hear it for yourself

It's just beutiful

Yes that is one work

That the museum should well be proud of

However I would like to have you come with me now

And we'll open this black

Door at the end of

The corridor here

I won't be able to keep it open very long

And I think you'll understand why

Here I'll open it like this just a crack and you listen

See what I mean

I'll close the door

There's a reason it's black

Here let me open up this door

It's just covered with beautiful colors

And we'll hear what's on the other side of this door
