Don't get me wrong....I liked my music alright, but the hypnotic whirrs and buzzes that oozed through my cardboard floorboards were something else altogether. I wasn't the type to complain and, in any case, these sonic peculiarities were becoming a familiar pleasure. It was then, as my neighbour's bleeps and tones began to soak every word of Cavalcanti and Horace via some kind of aural osmosis, that I thought to document them as best I could. The recordings, then, making use of a tape deck borrowed from the Italian department, are of mixed quality, the waves of sound that they capture presumably still at the mercy of their maker. Indeed, as I began to reach habitually for the record button, reacting to whatever stunted sound project would float into my airspace, I noted the expressive quality of these sonics, one day bellowing forth with warm confidence, on others stagnating impolitely into a clumsy, monaural gloom. I present them to you now in the order that I heard them, fleeting ambient noise captured as I lived it in the early, anxious months of Summer 2006." |
