Packaged in a six-panel Digipak. Edition of 1000 copies. from the liner notes: "Transmissions (Voices of Objects and Skies) was created for the exhibition Transmissions from Space at the Fresno Metropolitan Museum. The entire body of work included sound, painting, drawing, and sculpture - everything inspired by John Glenn’s first transmission from space, as well as Rimbaud’s poem “Vowels” in which each vowel is given a color equivalent. The sound installation consisted of 102 color coded tin cans hanging in a dark room - one for each vowel in Glenn’s text. 64 of the cans contained small audio speakers playing an 8 channel soundwork, while other cans contained small 4 watt colored lightbulbs. The source material was recordings of satellites by amateur astronomers from the 1960’s through the 1980’s. These sounds have been processed and transformed electronically. The CD contains a stereo version of the installation that was re-worked for home listening and regular stereo speakers."
