Sound Projects

I've gone and created a YouTube channel for a couple sound projects I created back in college.

The first, Anger, is Robert Creeley reading the poem of the same name + instrumental sections from The Downward Spiral.


The second, It (for 66 Voices), is a layering of 66 different people reading overlapping sections of Inger Christensen's book-length poem It. The piece breaks down as follows:

Section I: a 66 line stanza read by 66 voices
Section II: two 33 line stanzas read by 33 voices each
Section III: three 22 line stanzas read by 22 voices each
Section IV: six 11 line stanzas read by 11 voices each
Section V: eleven 6 lines stanzas read by 6 voices each
Section VI: twenty-two 3 line stanzas read by 3 voices each
Section VII: thirty-three couplets read by 2 voices each
Section VIII: sixty-six single lines read by a single voice each

It turned out to be a pretty amazing project.

You can also find It posted on Pinko's Copies.
