He found the quiet--the absence of all the city sounds--both haunting and peaceful. On his daily walks, he began to imagine that there might be music in the landscape. He snapped a photo of an iron gate adorned with decorative white balls as it reminded him of a musical score. He sent it to his friend, the composer Steve Beresford (born 1950), and asked: \"How would this sound on the piano?\" Beresford responded a few hours later with a recording. Over the course of the spring, he took more photographs which inspired more music.\u003cbr\u003eThis book collects the dialogue between Marclay and Beresford, which could only take place virtually during lockdown. In his introduction, Marclay writes, I realized that all my pictures were of enclosures: gates, fences, windows, closed stores. A view of the world behind barriers. The correspondence between image, sound and its notation breaks through those barriers, expanding space in magical ways. \u003ci\u003eCall and Response\u003c\/i\u003e is a testament to how the world at large can be not only reflected in image but translated into sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.47 x 9.84 x 7.64 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767433986336,"sku":"9781938221309","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/1f2238967a3f60eee2102c2b32d8eae4.webp?v=1780310826","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/christian-marclay-and-steve-beresford-call-and-response-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
