Presto! In this episode, Alec & Nick discuss the legendary illusion arts of Harry Houdini as an analogical frame for considering artistic strategies and aesthetics of escape. Discussing the work of Mattin and Pascale Criton in particular, the episode accounts for performance, audience and spectacle as planes of musical consistency in which the illusion of “escape” is realized — as the risk of conceptual or interpretive failure is leveraged towards thrilling feats of musical cogency and enjoyment. Topics include Mattin’s “Social Dissonance,” the conducting of Pierre Boulez, Deleuze & Guattari’s “Lines of Flight,” the solo computer set as spectacle, the athleticism of interpretation and affects of risk in music.
