	FONY \| pfony.com : Home of John Oswald's FONY music label ===
		Oswald has often stated that Allen has been his primary influence on the sax since the '60's, but this is the first time they ever played together, in a special wind quartet for this Space Music occasion, with trombonists Doug Tielli and Scott Thomson.
		He is represented in Oswald's ever-changing image by his teen and recent visages, combined with his similarly altered and now-almost-equally-disparaged sister, as well as several other iconic faces which may have served as models for the transformation.
		Oswald's use of the the gender-bending aspect of the Jacko image goes back 15 years to the cover of the first plunderphonic CD, which features MJ transformed into a white woman, a picture that Michael thought was really funny.

	REDCAT: Season - Musical Explorations Series: John Oswald - American Composers Forum (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Oswald is best known for his invention of Plunderphonics, a musical form/process/ethos wherein pre-existing recorded pieces are transformed into new works by a variety of editing and signal processing techniques.
		In the wake of these events, Oswald was commissioned to plunderphonicize recordings by the Grateful Dead and artists on the Elektra label, and he has continued to explore the far reaches of musical perception, culture jamming, and sonic transformation (including the CD new release Aparanthesi - a 30 minute exploration of a single note).
		Oswald's February 20 performance at REDCAT will include Rascali Klepitoire (plunderphonics-like treatments of the performance of obvious choices from the Classical Repertoire) as well as concert-situation and phenomenal (in multiple senses of the word) pieces, composed between 1991 and 2001.

	John Oswald \| The Mix (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Canadian composer, saxophonist, and sound collage artist John Oswald is best known for his plunderphonics, which involves using samples of existing recordings to create a new work.
		A year before Negativland got sued for their U2 EP, Oswald was taken to court for his 1989 Plunderphonics CD by one of the many sample sources, Michael Jackson.
		Oswald is also well-known for his Grayfolded releases, a plunderphonics-like treatment of recordings of the Grateful Dead's "Dark Star." In the mid-'70s, he co-founded Pitch with Marvin Green; the project consisted of playing music in the dark.

	3.02: The Man Who Stole Michael Jackson's Face
		Oswald was not required to retrieve the 700 copies of Plunderphonic that he had already distributed, and so this masterpiece is still readily available in the cassette underground - and every one of those CDs is capable of spawning hundreds more.
		Oswald listened to more than a hundred performances of "Dark Star," which is not as boring as it might seem to the uninitiated.
		Oswald earns his living making more mundane music - until recently, most of it was "canned music for stage situations." Since the mid-'70s, he has created a number of tape pieces for dance (many of which have been collected on Discosphere, released by Cuneiform Records in 1991).

	U B U W E B :: John Oswald
		Oswald first came to notice as an habitué in the mid-1970s of the Music Gallery, where his affiliations included Pitch (established in 1976 with Marvin Green and responsible for a variety of events held in total darkness), the Glass Orchestra, the New Music Co-op and, as founder and sometime editor, Musicworks.
		Although Oswald's sources were scrupulously acknowedged and the recordings given free of charge to musicians, critics, libraries, etc, the CD nevertheless was deemed to be in violation of Canadian copyright laws.
		Ironically, Oswald was subsequently commissioned by the US label Elektra to plunder its catalogue and prepared the CD Rubáiyát Plunderphonics (issued in 1991) to mark the company's 40th anniversary.

	Interview with John Oswald
		Another example of Oswald's seventies recordings is called Power, which has finally seen the light of day on a CD accompanying the Canadian Musicworks magazine, and which loops Led Zeppelin riffs and rhythms behind a cut-up recordings of a preacher.
		Oswald went further, and suggested that for anyone who wanted to respond to a media environment that was saturated with lowest-common-denominator music, the only way forward was to impose your own preferences directly onto the very substance of that environment.
		Oswald willingly admits that what happened to Plunderphonic has affected the kind of work of a similar nature that he is able to do.

		Often visceral, occasionally poignant, sometimes funny, never predictable and always challenging, the set is an entire record collection packed into this compact book form, including an extensively annotated retrospective account by reproducer Oswald, lavishly illustrated with full color collages.
		Oswald has been restricted from releasing this music so SEELAND has stepped in and "borrowed" this package and made it available to you.

	CD Baby: FRED FRITH, ANNE BOURNE & JOHN OSWALD: Dearness
		Spool is very pleased to announce the release of dearness, featuring Fred Frith, certainly one of the great contributors to adventurous new music, John Oswald, (in)famous for his landmark plunderphonics work, and Anne Bourne, who carries her sense of musical adventure along with her cello gracefully across the musical spectrum.
		Frith's emphasis on vibrato and delay seems to dictate the kinds of ideas the three of them come up with, and all three are in great form, able to invent shifting rhythmic ideas and melodic statements to match the implied rhythms of the effects.
		Oswald shows nice range in his sax playing, sounding plaintive, dirty and angry.

	John Oswald - Aparanthesi
		Knowing John Oswald’s approach to sound, though, I know his intentions are pure and honest – and we may extend our gratitude to
		The old, homey standards do not fit; they’re useless here, in which everything that happens at first does not appear to happen – since we’re naturally attuned to listen in a way that signifies an anticipation for what is not there; an elusive Godot that never shows up.
		Oswald has calculated that it would be decent to assume that there are ten audible octaves, which is why he works with ten degrees of the A; dire dynamics!
