every morning at HAC
March 10th, 2023The spring 2023 semester provided an opportunity for me to finally show a new sound sculpture that have been in development since 2018. The piece entitled every morning explores the soundscape at DeLeon Spring State Park, where I made 24 visits and recorded over 16 hours of audio field recordings. It was originally selected for inclusion at an international conference in 2020 that was twice delayed because of the pandemic. My work was eventually withdrawn because there was no good way to convert this work to an online format. Stetson’s Faculty Biennial Exhibition at the Hand Art Center gave me an opportunity to finally finish and exhibit the work. It was rewarding to share this piece with my students, the campus, and the local community. Because it was on campus, we also had the chance to visit with Young Sound Seekers during our February 2023 excursion. Sharing such a significant project with the kids in that group was a special treat for me, and gave them some insight into how I use field recordings in my own work.
If you would like to hear the four sound compositions that are presented within the installation’s headphones, you can find them here on Bandcamp:
- bench 2 – 3 hours, 6 minutes
- bench 6 – 3 hours, 6 minutes
