Gav’s copy of Dolmen Music by Meredith Monk

Tom’s modern Dolmen that started all this

You often find a Dolmen decorating the landscape of ancient Gaul…

…and sometimes even featuring in the history of the Gauls.

Satie’s Vexations… was Meredith Monk there at the 1963 complete performance? Did she stay there long enough to get the show for free?

You never really need an excuse for introducing the Ursonate of Kurt Schwitters into the conversation, but could Monk’s vocalising style have anything to do with this?

DJ Shadow’s 1996 track Midnight in a perfect world is one of the better known uses of a Meredith Monk sample

Here's a later interview

...and a recent Guardian article

Tom also mentions this in the Podcast.
