i love these tiny ruptures in the midst of the soothing static and drones (also, your track cover photo is perfect)

"Martian Flash-Forward" is my contribution to this week's Disquiet Junto prompt. The prompt consisted in the following:

Step 1: Early on in the Philip K. Dick short story “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale,” a man named Quail has a daydream interrupted. He dreams of visiting Mars, but then reality intrudes: “the daylight, the mundane noise of his wife now brushing her hair before the bedroom mirror — everything conspired to remind him of what he was.” As the reader will learn, Quail has in fact already visited Mars, subsequent to which his mind was wiped free of the visit. His daydream at the start of the story is as much a remnant memory as it is a wish to be fulfilled. Keep this scenario in mind, and maybe read the short story.

Step 2: Record the sound of some realistic-feeling alien landscape, perhaps Martian, and then at the very end of the recording have real-world sounds appear to break the spell.

Acoustic Mirror
This is a brief stroll through Madrid's quarter of Lavapiés, one of
the noisiest, most-multicultural, and most heavily-gentrified areas of
the city. The soundwalk starts out at Plaza Lavapiés, and progresses
all the way to El Rastro, Madrid's traditional bustling flea
market. The soundwalk attempt to register the multiplicity of noises,
but mainly the voices, languages and manners of speech typical in this part of the city.

Acoustic Mirror Soundwalk in Madrid, Spain: Lavapiés to El Rastro

Practitioner and researcher Sylvan Baker examines listening within applied theatre practices. 

Sylvan has worked across applied theatre, socially engaged arts and education for the past 30 years, and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Central School of Speech and Drama. 

He describes a process of using ‘headphone verbatim’ to share testimonies with care-experienced young people, and shows how playback and performance change the resonance of the spoken word.

Changing The Resonance

On May 27th and 28th, 1977, Maryanne Amacher presented "Listening at Boundary: Scenario for a Sound Saga" at The Kitchen. Though preceding the first formal iteration of Amacher's "Mini Sound Series" by 8 years, "Listening at Boundary: Scenario for a Sound Saga" marks a significant shift in Amacher's thinking toward the expanded notions of narrative that will accompany most of her later work. Amacher's 1977 introduction to the evenings is documented on a cassette tape made and signed by Rhys Chatham, then musical director of The Kitchen.

Thanks to Maryanne Amacher Archive and Robbie Lee.
