about

"Rik Rue’s great innovation in the early 1980s was to take the cassette recorder and turn it into a musical instrument. Great innovation in Australian sound art and
music is little known, its histories written in other places - for Percy Grainger
indeterminacy (Random Round 1913), ‘Free Music’ and the music of nature; for
Jack Ellit the ability to loop, cut, splice, layer and reverse recorded (concrete)
sounds in the 1930s (later to be called Musique Concrète in France) -
techniques that are commonplace in music and sound production today. Rik
was part of a zeitgeist - in New York, Christian Marclay (later video artist
extraordinaire) was taking to vinyl records, Grandmaster Flash was DJing
extending beats by segueing copies of the same record (thus turning popular
music upon itself), while in Sydney, Rik Rue was taking a commonplace object, the cassette recorder, and turning it into a virtuosic music production and reproduction instrument." - John Gillies
