As We Vanish From Public View

I’m excited to provide ambient music for Hank Lazer‘s poetry reading tomorrow at the launch of his latest collection of poems, As We Vanish From Public View. The reading will be at Ernest & Hadley, my favorite local book store.

For this event I’ve built some generative music devices in Cycling ’74’s Max to create melodies and harmonies on the fly. I’ve also chosen a selection of my field recordings.

Speaking of field recordings, one of our recent projects was field recordings of mind in morning.
