By the later 80\u0027s - after a good deal of percussion work alongside other musicians - he was equally known for his live wired solo electro-acoustic drumkit performances as well as his soundscore productions. His 1986 solo LP \u0027Orchesography\u0027 (on Glen Branca\u0027s Neutral Label) was an influential collusion of \u0027early\u0027 sampling tek with street beats and theatrical post modernism. By the early 90\u0027s he had retired from \u0027live\u0027 performing in the \u0027improvised\u0027 electro-acoustic vein to concentrate on the vocabulary of entirely electronic music and the resultant paradigm shift in performance priorities that this new \u0027compressed\u0027 format suggested. Throughout the 90\u0027s Linton became a dedicated advocate for the expansion and appreciation of realtime performance in electronic media through the design and/or production of event/environments such as \u0027SoundLab\u0027 (1996) and eventually \u0027UnityGain\u0027 (1997-present). Since 2002 Linton\u0027s fascination with instantaneous collaborative audio visual communication among select units of electronic musicians and visualists has assumed the form of a live television Manhattan cable/webcast project - UGTV - Unitygain Television - for which he is producer/director - and an occasional performer. http://www.unitygain.org.","offset":0,"nextOffset":null,"totalCharacters":1422,"complete":true},"rightsUrl":"https://www.videohistoryproject.org/terms-service"}
