Music in the World of Islam - 1: The Human Voice

"...In 1976, 'Music In the World Of Islam' is released, a 6-LP box set of recordings by Jean Jenkins and Poul Rovsing Olsen. Jean Jenkins, Appalachian banjo player, ethnomusicologist, and curator at the Horniman Museum, London, wrote this in her sleeve note: "The human voice is the foundation of all music within the Islamic world. Indeed, in some areas it is the only type of music which exists." Her recording of "Abu Zeluf", sung by Dunya Yasin, a girl from a northern mountain village in Lebanon, is sampled for two tracks on Eno & Byrne's 'My Life In the Bush of Ghosts'..."

Documentation of a Performacoid Installation featuring Jhonn Balance. This piece is built from polaroid photographs taken by Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson of the magick sex ritual by Black Sun Productions (Massimo & Pierce) featuring Balance as their victim, during their "Plastic Spider Thing 11" performance on the stairs of The North Tower, on August 23, 2002. The performance 'Plastic Spider Thing' is a highly moral yet sexually explicit exploration into the relationship between the spider and the fly. The music, "A Well Hung Monk," by Black Sun Productions is an homage to Jhonn Balance
