Jacques Lacan: Hours of archival material from French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan (1901-1981). Includes his 1973 film Télévision (1973), the complete Radiophonie (1970), as well as numerous other lectures dating from 1966-1970. Also included are nine audio recordings of the legendary Séminaire. From 1953 to 1980, Lacan's Séminaire was the laboratory, the work-in -progress for his Return to Freud project. The Séminaire was a singular place and moment, almost weekly, every year from November to June. Without any connection with university, it was public and open to everyone. Curiously, despite Lacan's famous verve for grandiloquence and his matchless improvising oral style, none of the 500 sessions have been cleanly and officially recorded (neither audio nor video) until now, presented here on UbuWeb. (audio and video is in French)

Music With Roots in the Aether (Please note that the videos are not available at this time due to our recent server issues. The MP3s, however, are available. We should have this problem corrected shortly.) A seminal series of interviews and performances conceived and realized by Robert Ashley in 1976, consisting of 14 hours worth of video and audio. Subjects and performers include: David Behrman, Philip Glass, Alvin Lucier, Gordon Mumma, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, and Robert Ashley. Robert Ashley says: Music with Roots in the Aether is a series of interviews with seven composers who seemed to me when I conceived the piece-and who still seem to me twenty-five years later-to be among the most important, influential and active members of the so-called avant-garde movement in American music, a movement that had its origins in the work of and in the stories about composers who started hearing things in a new way at least fifty years ago."
