From the recording Disco Day Of The Dead : 2009 Construction
<div><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;">
<p><span style="font-size: small;">On November 7 I was honored to set up a sound/vision installation again at the Annual Disco Day Of The Dead.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The gig is an invite only party, in a semi-secret location high in the Tucson Mountains somewhere along the line between National Park and so-called civilization.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">The hosts and guests are generous and wonderful, and the space itself is designed for deep listening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Outside I setup </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxznVPhsAIU" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">The Electric Ferris Box</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and created roughly five hours worth of soundscapes. On the wall of the home, visible for miles, we projected silent black and white films and video work by </span><a href="http://www.manymouths.org/antral/about.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: small;">Adam Cooper-Teran</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">But equally important, the installation was also influenced by the environmental sounds of crickets, planes, voices, and the party inside. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Playing in the night, beneath the stars, Tucson spreading like a phosphorous neon fungus across the landscape was mentally expansive. Not to mention the absurd moon which rose bloated and partially complete, lumbering up from behind the Catalina blackness only to melt back into the stars.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">As I said it's a fun gig.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I hope you enjoy this construction...</span></p>
