- Summary:
- "Silent or absent music often conveys a sense of headiness, the impression that its lack of a low end (or any end at all) makes it more mentally than physically stimulating. Pootie Tang's silent hit from his eponymous movie stands out from these less scrutable compositions by getting radio play on hip-hop stations and inciting physical expression in its listeners. (Un)Named for the mannerism that stands in for its traditional title, [untitled gesture] upends the typical genre assignation of "non-music" simply by changing its means of dissemination. The piece is of course able to effect such a shift only because it appears in a film whose characters have been written to interpret it as a pop hit. [untitled gesture] is unusually fake; it is not possible for us to present it to you."-- provided by distributor.
