*VARIATIONS #2. The Globe
Summary
*If music initially hesitated to follow the lead of the visual arts in the
field of collage, it made up for lost time in the sixties. Breakthroughs in
high fidelity sound, an influx of consumer level tape recorders, and the
continued influence of television building the notion of the Global Village
were among the factors that led to an explosion in collage based
composition. The most obvious of the shared qualities in these pieces was a
tendency towards the use of World music, culled from as many disparate
locations as possible. If the new availability of ethnological recordings
from around the world had shattered the notion that music was a universal
language, musical collage can be seen as an instant response to the rest of
the world as it became unignorable – a way to explore things held in common
and the potential for hybrid identities.
