about

People Like Us Live at The Tate Modern, 18 December 2004, as part of the Christian Marclay Exhibit

The Sounds of Christmas is an annual project by Christian Marclay, pioneer of the experimental turntable movement and leading artist operating at the intersections of art and music. Reinventing this work-in-progress for London, the artist presented his collection of over 1,200 Christmas records as a publicly accessible archive in a special Thameside pavilion, alongside projections of the record covers and footage of previous performances. Combining blatant sentimentality with vanguard experimentation, Marclay suggests that the categories distinguishing ‘serious’ music from its opposite are both arbitrary and arcane. During the two-week installation, created live remixes of their own selection from Marclay’s Christmas records.

People Like Us perform Sounds of Christmas (live recording from desk)

These are the raw tracks that People Like Us created from Christian Marclay’s record collection, to perform live at the event.

This has never been for sale (not by us anyway!) so you can have it for free, and if you'd like to donate you're welcome to as well, and we'll put that money back into making more.
