variation3-- 20:01 l 27.5 mb l mp3

based on a most pleasant evening with silver. he picked up the strumstick, and i an acoustic and bow.... spontaneous and alive. since then, after multiplying and processing, chance operations arise, unexpectedly, with the use of some handy wares. incense not included.

week 2

electromagnetic

mult ibird

electromagnetic 10:21 l 14.2 mb l mp3

recorded electromagnetic frequencies using a spectral-electromagnanometer built by Lin Svalas in 1955. headphone listening results in a temporal and harmonic balance far removed from the daily commonalities of societal adjustment.

avian springtime. multiple layers, light processing.

 

 

week 3

canal tour

canal tour 32:30 l 22.3 mb l mp3

a sunny day in late spring Richmond, VA. a canal boat tour. a loud child, and a defiant and obnoxiously boring guide. enjoy!
minidisc--->HD. no processing.
