Description

I have long been a devotee of the found object as an art form and finding what guides an artist’s interpretations of such material. Regardless of the object’s original function, under the artist’s actions, the object undergoes a metamorphosis through alterations, juxtaposition with additional objects or being given a new function altogether. Regardless of an object’s form, altering the perceptions and connotations of it’s origin gives it a new identity. This album was approached with that very concept in mind.
Working with other artists’ loops and field recordings, I weaved these sounds into a tapestry of soundscapes intertwined with my own musical musings to create something new. Although the album is broken into five sections, the overall work is intended to be one continuous excursion with shifting occurrences throughout. I hope your listening journey with this album is a joyful and meditative experience.
A special thanks to FM3 for allowing the use of their loops from The Buddha Machine Project and to the Free Sound [.org] community.    — KC
