stopGOstop: field recordings, sound collage, and sound art

This week the program pairs a composition I wrote while sitting in the New York Public Library at Lincoln Center with field recordings of riding public transportation in Los Angles.

This week on the program a binaural field recording — a walk on the beach; under the pier; a few hundred yards and back again; up to the pier; watching the bumper cars, the roller coasters; a woman sings I’ve already made it.

This week on the program, synchronicity, retcon (retroactive continuity), tracing your ancestry through DNA tests, and STS-131,the first space shuttle after the Columbia disaster and much much more!

stopGOstop presents an audio collage entitled When I talk with Ivan I feel very good.

breaking apart concrete blocks, a bit of feedback, a slow sine wave melody, erosion, moving rocks into a bucket, turning a burner on to boil water, a model railroad train zipping around the track, sitting at a suburban restaurant owned by an astronaut.

2. Here I am and am no I. This circle in all, these change changing in winterless, a dawn with an image of, an autumn change with a change of mist.

3. A cotton manufacturer… who decided to forgo his old waterwheel and invest in a steam engine,  erect a chimney and order coal from a nearby pit did not, in all likelihood, entertain the possibility that this act could have any kind of relationship to… Arctic sea ice…
