Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"This project is basically a 5 by 7 inch print book of 105 pages. I have posted fifteen audio readings as an elaboration of same, but what is primarily being offered here is a paperback edition of fifty "Plunder-Lit" pieces. A very limited run of books and I hope you will enjoy one!"-David Lee Myers

"I have said many times that my Feedback Music is the product of neither randomness nor the stroke of an artist's hand, but something between. This certainly applies to the present work. In this volume, the value of words and phrases is judged less by their conventional and literal meanings and more by their taste and smell, their aesthetic relationships and cadences — word music. A.I. plays no role here. My personal intelligence may be faulty, but it's not artificial."-David Lee Myers, from the forward

Artist Biographies

• Show Bio for David Lee Myers

"David Lee Myers is a sound and visual artist who has lived and worked in New York City since 1977. Pulsewidth serves as the platform for his activities in the arts, particularly sound projects, a number of which have been released under the Pulsewidth record label.

From 1987 through 1993, sound projects were developed under the name Arcane Device. With the development of new devices in 2014, it seems fitting for the moniker to be revived.

Myers work stems from an enthusiasm for electronics and the world of electrons as it relates to the realm of vibration and sound. After a fine arts education and many years in music, in 1987 Myers' accidental discovery of "Feedback Music" led to a new appreciation of the unseen forces underlying audible electronics."
