His work corresponds with the rise of MTV, the emergence of commercialization and VHS cassettes. His desire lays in the deconstruction of sound. Richardson's work can be divided into two phases, his earlier and later compositions. They combine aural and visual landscapes.
Mediation:
There is a close circuit between sound and vision - No outside influence. The audience is bombarded with image and sound oversaturation. In addition, there is an influence of channel flipping,
Richardson reverses the relationship between sound and image. In hollywood, images are a predominant factor. Normally sound is part of the background. In Richardson's compositions, sound is the predominant factor.
"I stole the soul of Rock & Roll"
Involves the obstruction of sound, appropriation of video and the distortion of images. Over mediation.
"The Game" - My favourite piece.
Highly oversaturated. Consists of artificial sound. Our ideas of war are constructed by movies. "The construction of sound." Sound plays an important role in the assimilation of an image.
The AVANT-GARDE - involves experimentation, discontinuity over continuity, unconventional over conventional.
His excess of oversaturating oversaturation falls into the avant-garde mode. In order to get a message across, he is taking it to the next level through extreme oversaturation. I prefer extremities.
