Idioblast (album)
''Idioblast'' is the first full-length album by multidisciplinary artist John Fekner, recorded and released in 1984 under the name John Fekner City Squad. Primarily a visual artist and pioneer of the Street Art movement, Fekner began using audio tapes and creating sound components as part of his stencil graffiti art installations and video projects in the late 70s.〔Russell, John "Art: 'New Work New York' at the New Museum" New York Times March 19, 1982. p. C24 (1 page).〕 In addition to playing keyboards, electronic drums and vocals, Fekner wrote and composed the music and lyrics for the eight songs on the album. ''Idioblast'', released on Fekner's own independent record label ''Vinyl Gridlock Records'', is an experimental and eclectic mix of songs featuring extensive sampling and tape loops of TV, radio, Native American voices, phone and airport controller transmissions over rock, rap and hip-hop beats.
==Background==
In 1983, the Walker Arts Center and Minneapolis College of Art and Design presented a joint exhibition entitled ''When Words Become Works'' that included Laurie Anderson, Fab Five Freddy featuring Graffiti Rock, Barbara Kruger and other contemporary artists. Invited by Diane Shamash, director of MCAD gallery, Fekner agreed to create two new songs specifically for the show to be released as a 12" 33 1/3 rpm EP limited-edition vinyl record under the name of "John Fekner City Squad." The A-side, ''2 4 5 7 9 11'' featured Kwame Monroe, aka Bear 167, a South Bronx graffiti artist as the guest rapper. ''2 4 5 7 9 11'' opens by beautifully incorporating the "I'm-as-mad-as-hell-and-I'm-not-gonna-take-it-anymore" dialogue from the movie Network. Vocals are shared by Fekner, Sandra Seymour and the late Bear 167. It is a high energy rap songs about turning off the television and finding out that "what life is all about is right here on the block."〔Michael Pepe article ''R.U.A. Vidiot?'' The Music Paper’s Musicians’ Exchange -The Video Signal August 1988〕 The B-side "Rock Steady" with Dave Santaniello on lead vocal was subsequently remixed with new lyrics, appearing as ''The Beat'' on ''Idioblast''.
