Recycled Sounds, Recycled Words, Recycled Art
So earlier this week I had a cool feature at Conspire. It was on an outdoor stage and it was absolutely beautiful weather!
It was a lot of fun and I had Rocky adding all kinds of sound to my set. He had all kinds of "instruments" that he used for different pieces, ranging from ones you might expect (like drums, guitar, cello, some kind of stringed Vietnamese thingamajig) to chains, bic lighters, and typewriters.
On Friday, I stopped by Bragg's Pie Factory to see a piece that he made, for their Trash Art show (all pieces had to be made from recycled materials). I thought his piece was one of the best in the exhibit. Check it out:
He stretched out the tape from the cassette, to create the image. I thought that was so cool.
I told him that he needs to create a whole series of those. He wants to try some with VHS tapes, too.
