2002 audio release by Thaemlitz, on Mille Plateaux. An electroacoustic analysis of “love” as a cultural mechanism enabling otherwise unacceptable acts of violence, manifested as domestic violence, queer-bashing, a terrorist’s love for her cause and America’s vengeful love of freedom. Beautifully packaged, includes extensive notes/theoretics by the composer. Out-of-print.
“Love of religion. Love of country. Love of family. Love of friends. Love of the team. Love of Jesus, Jehovah, Allah, Islam, Hinduism, Buddha, Jim Jones, Aum Shinri Kyo, the Pope. Love of freedom, money, commerce, way of life. Love of the hunt, the cruise, the pick-up, the kill, the score, the screams, the fists, the knives, the spit, the shoves, the tumbles down stairs. Love of the beat.” -Terre Thaemlitz
