Sound Scribbles by Brian Belott
For many years, Brian Belott has scribbled on paper, making and showing his paintings alongside collages and sculptures. For almost as long, he has scribbled with sound, using his mouth alone to spill language into a pool of abstraction, humor, and musicality. Sound Scribbles marks the first-ever collection of Brian’s multifarious work in sound and music, at times beautiful and repulsive, painful and calming, hilarious and disturbing.
Sound Scribbles was compiled for Commend’s SEE series, and by Ross Simonini, an artist, writer, and musician who, for the last decade, has collaborated with Brian on performances, music, texts and visual art. Sound Scribbles arrives April 14th from RVNG Intl. and is presented in two limited versions: a cassette and digital offering containing all four extended works, and an artist edition LP, both featuring archival artwork from the Golden Gate Kindergarten Association, essays from Brian and Simonini, and design by Will Work For Good.
