===Music=== Originally a professional jazz musician, Snow has a long-standing interest in improvised music, as indicated by the soundtrack to his film ''New York Eye and Ear Control''. As a pianist, he has performed solo and with other musicians in North America, Europe and Japan. Snow performed regularly in Canada and internationally, often with the improvisational music ensemble [[CCMC (band)|CCMC]] and has released more than a half dozen albums since the mid-1970s.<ref name="burnett " >{{Cite web |url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/michael-snow/ |title=Michael Snow |last=BURNETT |first=DAVID |website=The Canadian Encyclopedia |language=en |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/michael-snow|title=Michael Snow: Life & Work|last=Martha|first=Langford|publisher=Art Canada Institute|year=2014|isbn=978-1-4871-0004-9}}</ref> In 1987, Snow issued ''The Last LP'' ([[Art Metropole]]), which purported to be a documentary recording of the dying gasps of ethnic musical cultures from around the globe including [[Tibet]], [[Syria]], India, China, Brazil, [[Finland]] and elsewhere, with thousands of words of pseudo-scholarly supplementary notes, but was, in fact, a series of multi-tracked recordings of Snow himself, who gave the joke away only in a single column of text in the disc's gatefold jacket, printed backwards and readable in a mirror.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mag.magentafoundation.org/10/features/michael-snow |title=Recto/Verso: Michael Snow on the page and on the record |website=mag.magentafoundation.org |language=en |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref> One track, purported to be a document of a coming-of-age ritual from Niger, is a pastiche of [[Whitney Houston]]'s song "[[How Will I Know]]."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.theontarion.com/2015/04/michael-snow-a-retrospective/ |title=Michael Snow β a Retrospective β The Ontarion |website=www.theontarion.com |date=April 2, 2015 |language=en-CA |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bytownsound.ca/event/afternoon-michael-snow-jesse-stewart-record-centre/ |title=An afternoon with Michael Snow and Jesse Stewart @ Record Centre |date=November 30, 2017 |website=Bytown Sound |language=en-US |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref> Snow, with [[Richard Serra]], [[James Tenney]] and [[Bruce Nauman]], performed [[Steve Reich]]'s ''[[Pendulum Music]]'' on May 27, 1969 at the [[Whitney Museum of American Art]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.moma.org/interactives/exhibitions/2008/lookingatmusic/snow.html |title=MoMA.org|website=www.moma.org |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.furious.com/perfect/ohm/reich.html |title=Steve Reich interview- Pendulum Music |last=Remus |first=Uncle |website=www.furious.com |access-date=July 10, 2018}}</ref>
