Quadrophonic Electro-Acoustic Performance.
a quadrophonic electro-acquatic performance
Site Derived Electro Acoustic Performance commissioned by Composer Nathan Felix
Using both a hydrophone and a stereo microphone I recorded the underwater and abovewater sounds of the San Antonio River.
These recordings then generated all of the other sounds and the video you see.
This show was about infusing everyday objects with sounds. For the performance I generated all of the audio with two items found in our junk drawer. A plastic measuring cup and a small tin box. Each object had a contact mic and were being struck by solenoid motors that I controlled with a touch pad.
This is an edited clip from my performance at the 2014 No Idea Festival. Thanks JC for the video!

Portable Columbia GP-3 Plastic Turntable, Bobby McFerrin Record.
Monday morning after a holiday weekend, I sat downtown and quietly played Bobby McFerrin’s: “Don’t Worry Be Happy” for salarymen and women going to work in an effort to use Pop Music’s inherent hooks to subliminally alter these men and women’s day for the better.
