An ambient adventure into the archives of some mostly randomly selected recorded moments. In the age of data hoarding, data over load, lotta data intake with out known places for it to be discarded.. I have many files, saved and captured sound bytes .... I have a couple computers and phones worth of crap i don’t know what do to with. But thats the thing.. is it crap? What is it? Birdsong ballad + dog barks was recorded on an iPhone that I have and use as my current phone. My Mom bought it from the apple store for my Dad who was failing the battle with cancer. He’d previously resisted having a smart phone, but as he neared his end, he decided he wanted one. He also hopped on facebook. The birdsong ballad sounds were captured from the backyard of the house I grew up in. Those trees were there for it all. While I was recording it into this podcast, Honey (my dog) perked up and added the barks. Treeface was also captured on the same phone in voice memo while listening to a npr classical music show, and staring out the window at a tree that seemed to be starring back. Interrupting role play was recorded on an older iPhone using voice memo. It was my friend Ri and I making recordings for performance that I don’t think ever happened. Well I didn’t perform at least. It was in that practice that I realized that I don’t / haven’t experienced life as a femme person. Sure, I grew up a girl, but have always been more on the masc side, but it wasn’t till then that I realized i cn perform in the femmescapegoat... bc i wasn’t femme. Femmes are not limited in what they can be as a sidenote. Signature smell was made using the app iMaschine. I made it using the older iPhone .. I actually performed this song live, thanks to a pal Hamadi who co-organized Blvck Ice. I asked an old roommates to video it on an older digital camera that died before the performance even started bc he was taking random pics with it beforehand haha. I love body smells. Sex toys was recorded on a digital voice recorder that an ex / friend Cassie got for me. I was reading something I wrote in response to someone (dont remember who now) being disappointed in me. Larose full moon in libra was recorded on my current iPhone in 2020 while I was in Larose, Louisiana trying to hide from the coronavirus. The late night creatures get loud down south. I love them so much. Full bodimind workout instrumental was created using the GarageBand app on my current phone. It was also recorded while in Larose hiding from covid. I was attempting to restart my personal movement training trade, and was also trying to allow the trade to incorporate my other interests and talents by making audio guided movement experiences. The two I made are still up on a soundcloud channel. Fuq-the-rat-race is the beginning of a mix I recorded on on mixlr (maybe?). It was recorded on a website that hosts free live broadcasts..I didn’t have it all figured out yet is the reason for the echo in the beginning. A feature I loved, was that I could play audio from YouTube videos, and the one in the beginning talking about freight trains is mia now.. i cant find it. The background music is from abide serene who was take pills die or planet awesum at the time.. and the words were from posts on his blog. I used the highlight and read feature from my computer to get the computer voice audio in it. I made it during the time I was learning about the “water” I lived in. Aka capitalism, all the phobias and oppression and privilege. Finally, the last recording is from my favorite internet radio station (rip) Berlin community radio .. the show 60Hz. I recorded it because I feared I wouldn’t be able to find it archived on the internet later, and it was also discussing capitalism and humans as wages slaves to the state and corporations. Berlin Community radio was a huge source of inspiration to me. I felt validated, seen, and inspired by the station’s programs. There’s more to all these stories. Thanks!
