You might have to turn your speakers up for this - the dynamics are quite exaggerated and the bass is both tactile/physical and aural. More and more I find that sound is playing a significant role in my thesis - in the characterization of the performer and the stage, and in the experiential qualities of the performances (for both the audience and myself).
Again, the stage has a presence, a life, a heart beat...

Endurance
To get to the top you must take large steps. To get to the bottom you must take careful steps. You don't stay at the top for long. You don't always look so good at the top either. How many times can one go up and come down?

Battles
Battles - Atlas
I love:
the look of the video
the mirrors
the glass cube
the looping of fx and instruments
manipulation of voices
EVERYTHING.....

Star Slinger
One of my favorite DJs/producers that I haven't been able to stop listening to. He basically uses a drum/sample machine to mix his songs, often sampling from old soul records and filtering them to make them sound spacey. He's gaining a lot of notoriety now and is a great example of a genre of DJ-ing called "controllerism."
I just love the overall "glitchy" feel to the music. It's not part of the Glitch genre but it's getting there. I can imagine the recording of my voice - or some other kind of audio - blipping, repeating, looping, glitching like this.
His newest music video that reflects his "spacey" sound well: "Morning"
Performing live in a comic book shop:
Ean Golden remixes the White Stripes:
In the end, I'd like my audio interface to operate in similar fashion. Maybe not for remixing songs (or perhaps I could - I'd have to have a reason for appropriating the act of DJ-ing) but definitely for manipulating and looping audio.

Guitar Drag (2000)
One of my favorite pieces by Marclay - I love the references to rock and roll and guitar smashing. I don't know why I never made the connection (until now) between this piece and my own work Attempts at Guitar Smashing.

Christian Marclay
A blog I came across after conducting some research about Christian Marclay - Some Assembly Required. Put together by Jon Nelson, host and producer of a radio program of the same name.
Art in America article about Marclay's work - by Carol Diehl.
