	Michael Snow, Here Comes the Skelly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Michael Snow is no newcomer to the business of music, having been one of the movers and shakers in the Nashville alternative music scene for some 30 years and more.
		Snow turns to the confessional in "Irish Girls," a sweet but quirky ballad, and sings a touching valentine to the town on the Liffey in "Lovely in Dublin, Amen" (in which song there is some pretty fine figuring in a whistle break).
		Snow's voice is all rough and edgy, perfect for the conceit of the disc, and the talent (both writing and performance) brought to the table on this project is formidable.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Michael Snow
		Michael Snow is a multi-talented artist who has been involved in filmmaking, sound installations and musical improvisation in his native Canada for many years.
		Snow Solo Piano Solo Snow is a three-disc spotlight of his skills as a piano improvisor.
		Snow's purpose in writing these works seems to be the creation of music that capitalizes on both his skills as a (human) improviser and the flexibility of the Disklavier, which can perform melodic and harmonic contortions that would be impossible for humans.

	Harvard Film Archive: Being Michael Snow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Snow sets into motion a vigorous dialogue between sound and image that feels at moments like the remake of a Jacques Tati film scripted by Ludwig Wittgenstein—or a restaging of Diderot by Wilma Schoen.
		In capturing the impact of Snow’s celebrated film Wavelength, filmmaker Teri Wehn-Damisch inverts that work’s formal process, beginning with a narrow field and ending with seven screens and a grand piano with the artist in performance.
		In between, as the frame widens, we are taken on a journey largely narrated by Snow himself: through his diverse works in still photography, cinema, and film-related forms that demonstrate the artist’s formal mastery and aesthetic evolution.

	Michael Snow: A Brief Introduction
		Although Michael Snow practiced as a visual artist in Toronto in the 1950s, Canadian art critics as a whole only began to champion his work after he moved to New York City with his wife, Joyce Wieland, in 1962.
		The term “Renaissance man” is greatly overused, but is an apt moniker for Michael Snow who is an accomplished writer, with significant things to say about visual art and film, and an important figure on the avant-garde, improvisational music scene.
		The recent retrospective of Snow’s multifaceted work in Montreal at the 2002 Festival International Nouveau Cinéma Nouveau Médias (October 10-20) is evidence of his continued creativity (with a new feature length film, Corpus Callosum, a live concert, the launch of his DVD-Rom, Digital Snow) and importance in the field(s) of avant-garde art.

	Michael Snow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Snow's longest work to date, the more than four-hour 'Rameau's Nephew By Diderot (Thanks to Dennis Young) by Wilma Schoen,' which he began after his return to Toronto in 1971 and completed in 1974, marks a significant departure in his cinema.
		Snow described the film as a 'talking picture,' and this comment--coupled with his mention of the French encylopedist, philosopher, and author Diderot in the title--pointedly announced to audiences that the film would be encyclopedic and philosophical in the way that it inventoried and explored the nature of sound.
		Snow's best known work is a rather pedestrian piece, a flock of Canadian geese.

	Michael Snow: 3 Phases: description - actuellecd.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The initial project was to publish a double album, with one disc of Michael Snow improvising on the piano and another of Michael Snow working on a more conceptual approach of the instrument by using a Disklavier.
		Then, he had us listen, and we had to admit that, sanctified or not, this trinity resolves itself very well into a single box set and a single artist: there is one multi-faceted Michael Snow, whose consistency, while sometimes obscured to our ears by a profusion of languages, remains unshakeable.
		Michael Snow - 3 phases is thus a three cds set, presenting piano works from this extraordinary artist, accompanied by a 48-page booklet including a text by Raymond Gervais commissionned specially for this publication.

		Snow came to maturity at a time when image in art was functionally dead.
		But as Snow himself cautioned at the media preview, it's easier to dismiss a painting at a glance than a four-hour film, and though I came to his work through the provocative, demanding, sometimes gruelling film work, I'd like to consider the painting.
		Snow, like Picasso, was nevertheless an excellent magpie, and looking at the work of that time is to lament the strong New York/Toronto axis that existed then and doesn't now.

		Wavelength, Michael Snow’s meditation on cinematic practice, takes the form of a zoom that moves from the end of an 80-foot urban loft to a photograph of waves on the wall at the opposite end of the room.
		The zoom is accompanied by a sine wave as it gradually progresses from its lowest note (50 cycles per second) to its highest (12,000 cycles per second).
		Michael Snow’s first major film was described by the critic Jonathon Rosenbaum as “the most consequential zoom shot in the history of cinema.” It has been variously analyzed for its modernist-materialist form as a definitive answer to Bazin’s question Quest‑ce que c’est le cinéma?
