I just got word that a couple Seattle artists made it into ArtForum’s “best of 2005” list. I can’t find the full stories online, but apparently “Steve Roden’s performance at On the Boards as part of the In Resonance exhibit made it all the way to #1 on one of ArtForum’s best of 2005 music lists,” according to Fionn Meade. Meade and Robert Millis curated that performance, along with a related (excellent) sound art exhibit at this year’s Bumbershoot, which Roden also participated in. Check out Nate Lippens’ great piece on the show here. Meade also noted that experimental musicians Climax Golden Twins made the same best of 2005 music list with the release of Highly Bred & Sweetly Tempered.
