Rhizomatic Gaze

Description Playlist Rhizomatic Gaze: Deleuze and Guattari define a rhizome like a map: “The map is open and connectable in all its dimensions; it is detachable, reversible, susceptible to constant modification. It can be torn, reversed, adapted to any kind of mounting, reworked by an individual, group, or social formation. It can be drawn on the wall, conceived of as a work of art, constructed as a political action or as a meditation.” Music too can be many things – refuge, escape, a tool for engagement, a challenge, a pleasure, something to help us zone out, something that grabs us and won’t let go. By some strange alchemy, Marcia Bassett’s work manages to be all of these things at one time or another, often in wild combination. Rhizomatic Gaze revels in this transcendence of simple constructions, with Bassett acting as a guide – a detective unifying disarranged territories.  And so this double LP makes full use of its vastness while retaining such focus that time passes before
