Electronic and Spoken Word (Abstract, Field Recording, Experimental)
I've contact mic'd the upstairs bedrooms (while the rest of the family was sleeping) and various parts of the house, including the windows/backyard. The idea was to do a live, real-time mix, processing the sounds of the sleeping family/house, and gradually separating/ lifting off...first to outdoor sounds, then to local radio sounds, longwave...mediumwave...shortwave....then finally to a live radiotelescope feed. This idea of a gradual takeoff from a sleeping bed to deep space is based on a childhood fantasy of mine: that my bedroom would separate from the rest of the house and blast off into the cosmos when i was sleeping...a recent re-discovery of some of harris burdick's dreamlike magical-realist drawings provided the final impetus for the piece.
