Following his investigation into experimental music and sound
recording in Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs turns his
attention to the live performance of improvised music with an
altogether different form of writing. Now that the audience is
assembled is a book-length prose poem that describes a fictional
musical performance during which an unnamed musician improvises the
construction of a series of invented instruments before an audience
that is alternately contemplative, participatory, disputatious, and
asleep. Over the course of this phantasmagorical all-night concert,
repeated interruptions take the form of in-depth discussions and
musical demonstrations. Both a work of literature and a study of
music, Now that the audience is assembled explores the categories
of improvised music, solo performance, text scores, instrument
building, aesthetic deskilling and reskilling, and the odd fate of
the composer in experimental music.
