ARTIST STATEMENT

Hey John is a sound collage of found telephone answer machine messages combined with an improvised electronic soundtrack to create a unique perspective for an auditory narrative and atmosphere.

Hey John follows the life of John and the people in it over the course of several days. His journey volleys among the mundane, the humorous, and the mysterious. We know John and his activities only through these messages, leaving us to our own conclusions. These cryptic messages float over a foggy bliss punctuated with gentle electronic points, blips and beeps. The sound scape acts as our tour guide on John's journey. 

BACKGROUND AND CREATIVE PROCESS

In the 1990s, we were involved with a group of musicians and DJ's who were building a recording studio. While testing donated equipment, we found a box full of about 50 cassette tapes. The tapes were field recordings, programs recorded from the radio, and copyrighted material. While sorting, we found a tape from an answering machine and listened. We became fascinated with this tape. Who was John? What was he doing? Was he abducted or did he elope? This tape was one of the few things we kept from that box.

The result is Hey John, an auditory way to process the questions in our minds about what happened to John.

When it comes to electronica, I am but a hobbyist. I create this stuff for myself as a way of working things out, both technically and personally. While nothing can compare with the sheer joy of collaborating with gifted live musicians, one can still derive pleasure from this more solitary, almost painterly, form of music making.

None of this is really intended for public consumption but, in acquiescence to my friends who ask to hear what I'm up to, here are a few things I've scraped off my hard drive — warts and all.

Oh, and as you'll notice, my mixing skills are tragically unsophisticated. Sorry about that. So much more to learn…

My day job? Conductor and music professor.

//////// “Night-Timing EP”(early spring ‘21)

this is an ambient musical walkabout set about in but one odd, isolated night — wherein soundscapes move along and with a sleeplessly anonymous travel guide — we go thru this singular evening, moving into the deepened and darkened populated places — an odd night, in an unnamed city — composed of life’s sounds, environmental moment forming thru sounds signaling musicality, voicings, synths, samples and the like.  what matters herein is not some romantically devised ending to so prize — it Is but that night, any single night, has a interesting beauty all of its own.  such is this expression — this is but night-timing.  it is another truly wonderful thing of the night that inspires this project:  night is much more than just a time... night is especially wonderful because it is a “place” — it’s a space we may inhabit that’s unique to any other we can find here in this lifetime.
