A meditation on destruction, of legacy and change, on a city that wants to eat its people alive. 

Speaking clips courtesy of WOSU's Columbus Neighborhoods Project documentary on King-Lincoln, found here: https://youtu.be/G_3L_gvqZnU

Most ambient audio clips recorded around the neighborhood.

Background music you can hear at certain points is Golden Death Music's Symbiosis: https://goldendeathmusic.bandcamp.com/album/symbiosis-2015

work in progress for project 1C:
- made by first experimenting with layering tracks at random until a combination i liked came about
- there is a duplicate of the track with people talking that i recorded at work, one transposed down and one up to make both mostly unintelligible 
- i didn’t go into this one with a plan, but as i played with the different sounds and some effects, i enjoyed the slight delirum this gave me overall 

some thoughts:
- the background loop of water running & a car going by was an interesting marker of time going by
- the drones / bell sounds come from adding a phaser effect to a recording i did of a bass drone
- the sound of a sliding door starts off the section where speech comes in
- the play between entrance and indoor / outdoor sounds really interests me
- the deliriousness of the recording in combination with the recording of people indoor dining is exactly how i feel working food service during a pandemic

bar / alienation

Not much has changed from version one to now, but added in some other vocal layering + created an intentional ending. Embracing the delirum.

bar / alienation _ v2

Just uploading an experimental work on progress I had made for a project many years ago.

college dropout circa 2017

Have the basic concepts of the piece sketched out here, with the field recordings and the archival footage that I want to incorporate. Going to spend more time with placement / arrangement of the speech in relation to the field recording. I also think that the final piece will end up being shorter and more concise. I want the message of the piece to be built up to, but as of now I think it's slightly too spacious, especially in the beginning. Going forward, I plan on adding in additional sounds - musical or synthesized ones, to make the piece more immersive / expansive in the tonal range that it covers. Thinking about the practice that Viv Corringham uses with her Shadow Walks with the idea of harmonizing with place - my dream, which I am trying to figure out how to realize, is to make some echoing recordings in the construction site near my house...

final wip v1

Tightened some things up, changed around where certain clips are, created an ending, changed some of the effects used, chopped up the clips some more.
