V/A-P.S.1-VOLUME: BED OF SOUND, CD, 2000, VARIOUS



Thanks to blog friend Tony Pradlik for, many years back, sending me this compendium documenting the Bed Of Sound exhibition at New York's P.S.1, one whose contents, to my knowledge, have never been made commercially available and which heretofore was available for listening only online. Involved were a globe and genre-spanning roster of avant notables (some 43 in all), each turning in tracks of around 90 seconds duration. There's far too much here to go into individual details or likes/dislikes. A gander at the auspicious roster of talents involved should whet the appetites of most, I expect.

NOTE: As anonymous mentioned in the comment board, this evidently was in fact released by P.S.1 as a "CD Catalog". Anyone out there have a scan of this item? It'd be much appreciated....

  1. FYI - this actually was released as a "CD catalog" by P.S.1 with liner notes by Max Neuhaus!

  7. Hello,
    Thank you for this posting. I know it has been a while since you posted this, however my friend in Korea who is studying sound art is looking for an archive of this exhibition. Would you please share the file or link to the tracks? The above links seems to have expired. I would really appreciate your attention.

    Sincerely,
    Abby

  8. Hello. Any chance this might be uploaded somewhere? Maybe Dropbox? Can’t seem to find a CD anywhere. Thanks in advance.
