Narita Morning (Before the Planes)

impulsive cover

Here is a field recording from a few years back. This track appeared on the World Listening Project’s 2013 edition. As I am planning to participate in the 2015 edition, I thought I would share this piece. The sounds were recorded in Narita, Japan around 5 AM. The planes had not invaded the audiovisual space yet, so there is  a feeling of tranquility. There were a few people walking and exercising near the bamboo forest, but for the most part I was alone in this landscape. I remained in this spot for about three hours, documenting the dramatic contrast in the visual and sound environments. A track appeared on my Impulsive Habitat release and a short film was made.

Here is a link to the World Listening Project-

Preparing Notes for SU lecture and excerpt from Tongjing

Next week I am off to Salisbury University to deliver a talk and screen some of my films for the visiting artist lecture series (3/12/15). I am really grateful to have the opportunity to showcase my work and to discuss the audiovisual, landscapes, field recordings, and other things with the students of SU.  Here is a link to the event. This is part of their exhibition Alternative Topographies  In the meantime, below is a clip from a new work I will screen for the lecture along with super 8 films.

A special thanks to Li Xiaoxing for taking a number of us to TonJing last summer. A distinctive place  along the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province. More on this later
