Music: Drawing Down The Music
By David West (paperback) $24.95

The artist’s new book of drawings was done “in situ” (usually in rehearsal or soundcheck) with various musicians or groups, over the last 20 years. From Wire to Patti Smith, from the Bush Tetras to Alan Vega, and from Devo to Silver Apples, West has strived to express the effect of the musical charge, often working with musicians over several days. The selection herein is a cross section of the best to date.
