About
A boisterous sound installation by Emma Hendrix and Julie Gendron of Manufacturing Entertainment:
"glamTURE", a portmanteau created by combining glam metal and torture, is an installation that perpetually auto-reverses guitar solo sections from 80s glam rock records on multiple modified turntables, concurrently.
Glam metal started its meteoric rise in the early ’80’s and by the early ’90’s, it had largely disappeared, along with its mix of hyper-masculinity, heavy makeup, flamboyant clothing, and endless finger-shredding guitar solos.
The repetition of the solos simultaneously amplifies and dilutes the guitar-hero passages while, throughout the night, each record and stylus slowly deteriorates, representing the values and styles of a genre built on juxtapositions. glamTURE multiplies the pinnacle moments that these bands and their fans anticipated: the guitar solo as the musical and performative climax of each song, the over-indulgent competitive edge that each band claimed as their own unique “genius”.
