about

tENTATIVELY, A CONVENIENCE - idioideo.pleintekst.nl


My original piece was called “Tex-Mix (Giddyup Americana)” & was made primarily from samples taken from 6 Tex Ritter movies + samples of my playing coconut halves (as simulated horse’s hooves), 2 types of guitar, mandolin, accordion, autoharp (more correctly called autozither), & harmonica. The project was created in the spirit of an updating of the post-WWII notion of Americana that presented American values as essentially anti-nazi (even when not explicitly stated). As such, I acknowledge the lineage of Antheil, Copland, Foss, Hiller, Siegmeister, & others.
