Sound bloc material

Shocking moments when sounds and streaming audio take a front seat position in the creative act. I never expected to be back here again. In a creative space where sound and image become so important.

Here is a wonderful; online exhibit of found sounds... sounds recovered from all sorts of places... on magnetic tape lying the sewer to old CD's stacked in a closet - unmarked. It's called Found Tapes Exhibition.

I'm excited to play and cut in this scissor circus that is today. I've been reading the Critical Art Ensembles book project called "Flesh Machine".

Aside from being incredibly engaging, if not a little hard to follow, it has ignited neurons in new directions in my little frumpy head. I'm thinking about all the self-imposed definitions and fences I use to derail my create interests. I've been blinded by the lack of free-play in the wide open garden of media/image/message/push that is like a fog around us everywhere we trek.

I feel like this is a good place to mention, my daughter refuses to fear screenal images. That is, images on-screen, whether in a theater or at home on TV. She just isn't afraid, no matter how demonic... or adult.

Whereas my son, well yes he's very afraid... often. He can't watch movies with monsters, movies with creepy dark corridors and the such. Although he does hanker to regurgitate every commercial that he sees. I'm just waiting for him to start quoting from Adult Erectile Disfunction Ads in public. Oh I can't wait.
