comment
editDidn't have the patience, but a list of available scores might be in order.
Moved this from the main page, because it is more about plunderphonics, and this topic is discussed quite extensively at that entry:
A good example of this would be his piece, "Pretender", in which a recording of Dolly Parton singing Buck Ram's song, "The Great Pretender," has been electronically manipulated, slowed-down, and sped-up. The overall result of this might leave the listener thinking that Dolly is pretending to be a man, African-American, or both. At least, she seems to be what she's not.
He released a compact disc collection of his manipulations and collages, which was sued out of existence by Michael Jackson's lawyers and a Canadian record industry group. The cover art of the disc was an altered photograph of a nude woman's body with Mr. Jackson's head, which was the provocation for the lawsuit.
What the...?
editWhat is the bizarre, long, out of place text added below the discography? Is this just simply cut-and-pasted from another site about Oswald? It really needs to be cleaned up if not excised completely. Inoculatedcities 23:50, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Norman Igma
editIn the "Philosophy" section, an interview between Oswald and a "Norman Igma" is quoted. Norman Igma is almost certainly a pseudonym of Oswald himself, per discussion elsewhere online, and the fact that the name is pronounced "enigma" when the first name is abbreviated. I couldn't find a reliable source to prove this, however, so if anyone is able to find one, please make a correction to that quote explaining the context. BP2Create (talk) 16:52, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
