THE SOUND
Light and shadow. real and dream. public and private. subjective and
Objective. individual and universe. despotic and collaborative.
Ownership and commons. un/controlled materials and un/expected result.
Playing and listening.
Me in the dream of butterfly in the dream of mine in the dream of.
Everything gets mixed on the audible palette.
The border was not there from beginning, in fact, you created it in
Your imagination.
Disappear from the stage and leave only slight trace of existence.
Maybe that is the reason why I am fascinated with field recording. maybe.
The original field recording was recorded by sawako in Niigata Japan
on March 2010, in the sound walk workshop lead by hofli, organized
by Flea Ongaku, attending 15 people of various back ground including
Japanese sound artist asuna.
