concept - 2002 / completion - 2003

this project is based on the concept of "silence" - the audio sources used in this project are all very quiet, and consist of recordings made from events that are mostly "silent" - so as not to compromise the integrity of the project there were recordings made where and when the described events were actually taking place – there are 7 (approximately 3 minute) compositions which were made from these conceptual recordings, along with actual digital silence, in different proportions and for different time intervals -

the sound of the sun shining
the sound of water evaporating
the sound of ice melting

the packaging for this project consists of scraps of white paper, found objects, gesso, and egg shells all glued around, and encasing a 3inch jewel case with a 3inch cdr inside, and a translucent insert with text -
