Rhythmic Rolling Carts

Here’s another example of the sound made as we rolled our carts along cement paths to the Artists on the Verge opening reception show at the Weisman Museum. At a consistent pace each section of pavement made the cart rattle rhythmically.

Artists on the Verge Opening Reception Show

steudel_olsonThis Thursday, July 9, 2009 I am participating in a performance by Andrea Steudel with David Steinman at 9:30pm just outside the Weisman museum in Minneapolis. The performance involves projection, pantomime, and live sound design produced with the GMS. Without giving it away, there will also be things being broken and all sorts of chaotic fun. The performance is part of the Art(ists) on the Verge opening reception which starts at 8:00pm. Here the sound our carts of gear and props made as we wheeled them from the Regis building on the West bank to the Weisman museum on the East bank yesterday.

Empty Dumpster Sounds

dumpster_hitchI recorded some sounds from this giant dumpster in the alley behind my house. It’s there so my neighbor and I can dispose of some construction waste that will not be taken away by the city, including wood posts stuck in cement that I dug up while replacing old decaying fencing.

At the time the dumpster was almost completely empty allowing it to resonate for an extended period of time. If I get a chance I will make some more recordings of this metal behemoth.
