To: Desmond Briscoe
Eduardo Paolozzi has agreed to take part in devising and
broadcasting a radiovision programme on his work, to be
broadcast in Autumn 1971, and recorded probably in April and
May, completed at latest by June.
He has said that the _White Noise_ Island disc in which
Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson were involved is the sort
of music that would be right for the programme. Would it
be possible for one of them to be involved at this planning
stage? No decisions have been made so far, and it might be
that we would use the existing disc and nothing else - but
we might want a special composition or series of frame change
signals. I'm sorry to be so vague, but I have only had one
preliminary meeting with Paolozzi so far. He's an artist of
international repute - the Tate Gallery is to give him a
special exhibition this Autumn.
Many thanks.
