Professional context. From Archive to Interview.
An interview about the cassette magazine archive Audio Arts.
William Furlong is highly attuned to sound and the voice, and raises awareness of the added layers of meaning in the human voice which is not in the written word. Andy Warhol was also enthusiastic about recording everything. Michel Duchamp similarly convinced of its importance.
He also constructs conversations, and leaves out questions, adding silence. Such small manipulations further focus the possible meanings in the voices.

Reflection
An artist who thoroughly knows his practice and can give complete and succinct answers to questions, as if he had been asked such things many times before, and had practiced answers.
Street recording is like a gentle appropriation.
