WBPR08, Hey Hey Glossolalia / True Mirror (after Napalm Death, You Suffer, 1988, 1.316 sec., N. Bullen / J. Broadrick)

[open-reading-group at o-r-g.com]

Please refer to the attached MP3.

This sound file consists of a reading of the 11-page Whitney Biennial 2008 
press release compressed to 1.316 seconds. "You Suffer" is a song by the 
British Grindcore band Napalm Death. The song has earned a place in the 
Guinness Book of Records as the shortest recorded song ever. It is 
precisely 1.316 seconds long and consists entirely of the lyrics "You 
suffer, but why?" The MP3 is accompanied by the text "Resisting Language 
(The Silenced Voice)" by Nicholas Bullen, founding member of the band 
Napalm Death (the band credited with creating the Grindcore genre which 
blended elements of Extreme Metal and Punk music).

In January 2006 Mark Beasley invited Nicholas Bullen to present a lecture 
about Napalm's development of the "death growl." The death growl, also 
known as growled vocals, harsh vocals, death vocals, pig vocals, 
throating, death grunts, unclean vocals, Cookie Monster vocals, or simply 
growling, is a vocalization style usually employed by vocalists of the 
death metal music genre. The resultant essay commissioned for the 
publication "Hey Hey Glossolia: exhibiting the voice" edited by Mark 
Beasley and co-produced with Dexter Sinister will be published by Creative 
Time in May 2008. Nicholas Bullen will be speaking and performing at Hey 
Hey Glossolalia: The Voice (after Mercedes McCambridge) on May 22 at the 
New York Society for Ethical Culture.

Produced with Mark Beasley
