=====So here's the story: on september 18th I took a bad-ass birthday trip down to chicago with my best friends Diane and Miggs. I recorded snippets of it--riding in the car, hanging out with chickens, getting tacos, running around outside the zoo (which was closed!! by the time we got there), pretty much the whole day crammed onto one side of a c40. I took that tape and used some very intricate and advanced manipulation techniques (i.e. hitting the rewind button like a thousand times), to turn the 20 minute tape into a 40 minute cd. The most common noises in the world become indiscernible as they repeat---fragments of the english language mixed with xm satellite radio, the silence between words and the intricate noises we never knew we made, also whatever else was going on directly in front of me throughout the day.
hear some of it:
