Who needs loops when you have 6 players

The sixty fingers of Dr. M

What a great performance! It’s called a Wurlitzer Learning Station if I remember right… I had two of these units when I was a teenager. My parents donated them after I moved out! Wonder if this is one of them…

[@Musicalmane]

Aww, man, I'd be bummed. At least they got donated and not just thrown to rot in a dump

[@Musicalmane]

Oh yeah, and it's a Musitronic Organ Mks 470.

I think Mark is poking fun at the pretentions of "serious composition" and high art by combining the sports uniforms, timer, etc. with the title suggesting classical or avant-gard music. The art world and the world of popular competitive athletics, both with their urgently serious activities -- both silly, both contingent cultural formations. Silly to suppose one is intrinsically elevated or refined above the other.

Dada, or rather "bulldada."

[@thePsykomanteum]

silly for SOME who are unable to detect what makes things objectively FINE.
