Soundscapes of Charleston, South Carolina, 2006 now posted on Bandcamp.

   These soundscapes of Charleston, South Carolina were recorded to SONY minidisc in 2006 with the ECM-MS907 (try not to laugh!). It was the infancy of my life as a field recordist. I did strange things back then. Hitting the pause button in the middle of a session? Resuming it later with no sense of continuity or seeming purpose? I suppose this was some kind of self-randomizing authorial/editorial function, since my aims back then were to resample sounds for the dance and theater projects.There was a way to make track marks within the tracks and skip around on the disc, put the snippet into the looper pedal then continue the live. By contrast, there are very long form captures here where you must wait for the drama to evolve. Some of it is pure crickets. Crickets as in peace and quiet. It's about 45 minutes of strange suburban calm with frogs and insects typical of the South Eastern coast of the USA that I have not heard in a long time. Enjoy with sweet tea. https://jeffgburekprojects.bandcamp.com/album/charleston-south-carolina-2006

                     Notebook 2023:  Earth as communications manifold whose essence only appears when linear messaging models and binaries dissolve or become secondary.. Restoral of mythic anatomies. Clouds have meaning etc. A scale of planetary weight and balances that postulate niches of available elementary compositions. Ability to predict probablistic life forms and through artistic methods converse with futurological entities. Desire as an expandable modality of consciousness involving multiple species.
