Performance by Ian Murray: Keeping on Top of the Top Songs

A special restaging of Ian Murray’s seminal 1970 performance Keeping on Top of the Top Songs, in which a drummer plays along with an audio recording that s/he has not previously heard. They are instructed to search for a point of reference, an underlying beat, based on an audio recording of Ian Murray’s The Top Song – a recording of the first ten seconds of each of the top one hundred pop songs of the 1960s.
