  • St Roch Transmissions - MP3 (excerpt)
  • Created in the summer of 2006 during a residency at La Chambre Blanche in Quebec City. This work is a collage of recordings from the St. Roch neighborhood in Quebec. Rythmic compositions created with trains, garbage trucks, and church bells are collaged with interviews with a local historian and the pastor of l'eglise St Roch. This work was broadcast to the neighborhood using a low power transmitter and antenna attached to the roof of the artist residency space at La Chambre Blanche.
  • The Acoustic Commons - MP3
  • This audio collage metaphorically examines the issues explored at the "commons conference"—the commons and privatization—and reaches an audience at the very site that the audio was originally recorded (Victoria BC); this is an important location for the transmission of this work. In micro broadcasting this site-specific sound collage, I am using radio as a metaphor for the enclosure of the land, by temporarily creating a space on the airwaves that is an aural “commons” of sorts.
  • The speakers that appear in this peice were originally recorded at the conference "The Wars at Home, the Wars Abroad, Imperialism and the everyday" at the University of Victoria in 2005 - and appear chronologically - Chief Kim Recalma-Clutesi of the Qualicum Band, Richard Day, and Arthur Manuel.
