about

(1988) This initially pastoral scene is from "Baryshnikov", a feature-length ballet by Bill Coleman. Most of the visual and audio materials for "Baryshnikov" are blatantly derived from popular American culture; there are scenes from movies, records, and from other dances. "Field" is polyplunderphonic. All of its sources are self-evident and, in other contexts, self-sufficient. Unlike the tracks on the Plunderphonic CD, each of which focused on one piece of music, or on one performer, "Field", along with "Code" (Track 16, which is also from "Baryshnikov") juxtaposes a variety of sources. Another "Baryshnikov piece, "Pocket", (from Count Basie's orchestrations) was featured on "Plunderphonic".
