about

The 'cover' is/has become some secret language by which the populi talks to itself. Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' is the most visible example, where the very clear meanings are torn to shreds and rain down as beatific confetti. Someone's version either pomping up the melodic line or stripping it down is seen as a way to eulogize or elevate some broader sentiment and inviting direct listener engagement. Through this extra layering of meaning I was introduced via Woody Guthrie to Wilco and through popular idiom to Dead Raven Choir. It becomes a less forbidding entry point for unfamiliars to an artist or style at its best. In more or less familiar form I use 'God Give Me Strength' Written by Burt Bacharach for a mocked up Carole King Biopic that conflates an imagined/unimagined landscape for these 'sweded' versions of 60s pop icons to act out her writing and singing careers. Bizarrely this song is already a 'cover ' in a sense, in that Bacharach attempts to embody Carole King and Brian Wilson simultaneously allowing for vulnerability as well as soaring florid language missing every mark but making one of it's own only possible in this parallel universe. My second offering self-explains itself. This is an attempted 'cover' of Bill Orcutt's guitar improvistions on toy guitar. What is covered here is the spirit in which Orcutt works and performs. The last track deals with artist/musician Rodney Graham who is sometimes confused in where he resides primarily in either one. His methodology is covered here. In every instance Graham is simply 'staging'. This is the link between his visual and audio works. He's 'hereing' things. By stretching what a cover can be the practice might be able to avoid being dragged down by it's many abusers. These covers are warm in that the material is being rooted through for mean-ing and mea-ing-ful-ness..
