Faulty (broken orbit) is an hour-long through-composed immersive audio work exploring  sonic idiosyncrasies of mic’ed surfaces and amplified quotidian objects — collected, invented, imagined or implied – activated into movement and then layered against a shifting, slowly settling field of electronic feedback and live-processed instruments.  The work is built via elaborate and precarious systems, in homage to inventor Rube Goldberg’s circuitous machines, which are also the inspiration for my self-designed  virtual (MAX-based)  sound processing instrument that has been my primary compositional and performance tool for the past 10 years. 

Faulty (broken orbit) was first commissioned by and exhibited as a site-configured 10-channel audio installation at Diapason gallery for sound in New York City, and was  later released on CD  (in stereo) by Important Records, the US-based sound art and experimental music. Since 2011, Faulty (broken orbit) has been presented in gallery and sound art spaces in NYC and throughout the US; VIctoria, Australia, and Hamburg, Germany.

A experimental poem written with closed eyes. The result is a kind of stream of consciousness, which maybe has a greater degree of presence than it would have if I'd written it with eyes open. Will try more of this approach.
