    Duh. He actually makes and sells art for a living and does rather well with it. He's not just a "musician."

    thank you for explaining this is what I expected art is getting weirder and weirder, and the upperclass thinks it is great. they are also willing to pay very well for it, I just don't get it that is what made me feel a little confused

    christian marclay ISN'T a part of the hip hop tradition. he is (or was) part of the downtown "new music" scene, along with people such as john zorn, elliott sharp, and anton fier. and his work is best appreciated when he is functioning as part of a group, not as a solo artist. as for the "financial" angle, i'm surprised to see marclay living in such lavish quarters. i never thought he made all that much money. but maybe he's a trust fund baby. (he WAS, after all, born in switzerland.)

    Have a listen to Marclay's scratching on John Zorn's "The Big Gundown" - especially the track "The Battle of Algiers" - then come back here and try to justify your ignorant and silly comments.

    Go take your "Scratch" dvd and listen to the director commentary for "Scratch" They talk about Naut Humon. He started and owns Asphodel records. He produced Mix Master Mikes first solo album. His label was the "Blue Note" of hip hop. He let the artists do whatever they wanted. Naut led the directors of the "Scratch" to Christian Marclay and they had footage for the movie "scratch" but couldent include it in the movie because there was so much good footage and so little time.

    Mixmaster Mike does make art and gets paid very well. You know, the Beastie did sell ALOT of albums and have played countless sold out shows over the years. I dont think you 'scarletxrisis' know or represent hip hop. Hip hop parallels punk closely, you know the Beastie Boys's began as a punk band. Hip hop and punk are about doing your own unique original work, not coppying. True that Christians work dosent fit into the DMC tradition, it still represents to the fullest Hip hop's ideals,

    Mixmaster Mike makes real musical art please keep to the sculptures, your not making music man. And I do not believe it to be art either. I think mixmaster Mike probably should be making the money you do I am sorry, right from the heart. go hiphop o yeah, and watch the documentary "Scratch" for some ref to the time/year hiphop started using turntables and records. I believe it's said wrong here that he started before hip hop did

    I'm sure that would have been a very cool concert, indeed. I like the way he not only uses collages of semi-random audio snippets in his performance art, but also his music sculptings and alternative use of soundmaking. It's not an easy thing to pull off, and do it convincingly! I would love to see who a crowd would applaud more: 10 minutes of a performance by Down10 or 10 minutes of Christian Marclay!

    Splicing records to create a rythm, Amazing! But one question. Why, at the end of the vid., do you see his hand move when he's being rewound? During play-back, his hands are in his lap. hmmm.

    You are referring to the Old Testament Ez 9:6 which was nothing more than a man's visions. Jesus came to tell us that most of the Old Testament are lies, nothing but lies made by the lying pens of scribes. The New Testament starts with John...everything wrtten beofore John is questionable.

    [ King James Version ]-[ Ez:9:6 ]-[ Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house. ]
