Vito Acconci
The American Gift

Album US 2001 on Electronic Arts Intermix label
Spoken Word (Monolog, Education, Avant-garde)

From the sleeve notes: "Alternating between an English lesson, in which a French speaking man and woman translate English phrases, and short 'samples' of what Acconci calls 'the voice of America' - movie soundtracks, Creole singers, honky-tonk piano - The American gift investigates the problematics of translation and nationality." Early audio works series. Originally issued on cassette in 1976.
