(Part 1) The Greenpoint Bathing Association: Rock and Roll is Lonely (Everybody Has a Sound to Make) (33:18)

Episode 10: The Greenpoint Bathing Association (Greenpoint's own guerilla aquanautical expedition force) invites all and sundry to join us as we take strategic action against the "contemplated object" in the cultural milieu surrounding contemporary musical production. We propose a united stand against the transformation of music-making into the alienating manufacture of "objects of desire" or "images of need", and propose in its stead a music which encourages free play and self-discovery within community. We are convinced that musical expression is natural and possible for all. The hegemony produced by the usual audience/performer dichotomy will be discarded and new forms of musical experience will be substituted in their place. All participants will be encouraged to act as both audience and performer. Music will begin precisely at 10pm on Nov. 16, 2007. Instruments will be provided but all are encouraged to bring a sound making device of their choosing.

"The Spectator's Alienation from and submission to the contemplated object (which is the outcome of his unthinking activity) works like this: the more he contemplates, the less he lives; the more readily he recognizes his own needs in the images of need proposed by the dominant system, the less he understands his own existance and his own desires".
