"Sound need to be heard"
Organizing noise in coherent patterns
Learned how to splice tape on a Sony two track reel to reel in high school. Fell in love with musique concrete and its bastard child, sampling. Took up the flute in college followed by sax and bass clarinet. Sequence, MIDI and cassettes ruled the day not that long ago. Its back to the future with found sounds but on hard drive.
Big Mix, 2005Samples, sequences and found sounds, all on a laptop.
- Voila, 2005
Borrowed from a French instruction audio CD. It gets messy after that.
- Sisters Dance Again, 1990
Orginally composed in 1987 on a Yamaha music computer. Revoiced for "thre(moved)".
- Second Movement, 1990
From "thre(moved). The story of the move from Minnesota to California.
- Sunday, 1990
From "thre(moved)". A friend said it sounded "horn loaded". Never thought about it that way even though I used to play horns.
