We Song


I spent the last month recording the voices of some dear people singing a song I like to call "We Song." It was made on my portable tape players and each person sings along to everyone who has already sung and been recorded...then they become part of the tape and the next person sings to the new and denser chorus. it's accretional man.

this is the song that I brought with me to Albuquerque New Mexico for a show at a nice place called 516arts. But, I never like to make it easy, so I have been exploring, looking for a place to leave behind my tape recorders with the song out in the world of albuquerque somewhere. then people can find what I found here (in abq) and listen to a sound from there (back in the bay). It's an exchange. I found my spot, and now I'm getting it all ready. It's by the rio grande and I am going to be burying a box with the tape players in it so they can hopefully stay hidden for the summer there. I set up two logs that are kind of like the boxes I built for my portable recording set up.

It's been a nice art adventure so far...still 6 days to go.
