THE SOUND

Dear A.,
since I listened to your reflections about that remote place buried in the sand (and yet, a place that somehow you had been calling home), I have been thinking about getting you a snap of this one space/time corridor of mine. This too is a place where I like to feel at home – even if it is nothing like a home and not even much of an actual place at all – just a string of points lined up in mid air, a trajectory. But as you know well, sometimes the travel is the destination, and indeed I like to recognize a sense of belonging up here.

Wherever you happen to be these days – happy 2010,

Gill

Sounds and images captured between Brooklyn and Reggio Emilia, 22-24 December 2009.

THE ARTIST

Gill Arno was born in Italy and lives in Brooklyn, NY. His work explores areas where sound and image overlap, and is often constructed with found objects and found sound.  In the project mpld he utilizes two old modified slide projectors to create performances where static images become pulsating and fade continuously into one another. The projector’s mechanical sounds are tapped and manipulated to reveal their musical potential.  Other activities include performances with the New York Phonographers and in various other collaborative and improvised settings. He publishes books, recordings and other multiples via his own imprint, Unframed Recordings, and runs Fotofono, a small studio in Brooklyn where sometimes public events are held.
