for @disquiet Junto 31, "Ono's Match"

several copies of freesound.org/people/HerbertBo...nd/sounds/29677, processed in Audacity

in honor of the yesteryearness of fluxus, i did it all by hand -- no supercollider
(you most likely cannot appreciate what an effort, ridiculously, that was for me).


Disquiet Junto Project 0031: Ono's Match
This week's project takes the opportunity to focus on the art movement known as Fluxus. We'll use as the starting point a 1955 composition by Yoko Ono. Her work is titled "Lighting Piece" and it consists of a single, simple sentence: "Light a match and watch till it goes out." It is one of a number of pieces that Ono produced as part of Fluxus. For this week's Disquiet Junto project, please interpret her instruction as closely or as loosely as you choose.

Deadline: Monday, August 6, at 11:59pm wherever you are.

pic: still from Ulrich Rückriem, Kreise (1971), who by complete coincidence is my neighbor, and though he moved into a different direction, did do some fluxus/happening-type work in the 60s & early 70s. He made an earlier film that involved burning wood, iirc, but i couldn't find stills from that (just to make my associative chain explicit here).
