this piece is called "home" the sound that it played was a recording of me and lib doing things in our apartment. we didn't speak, i wanted to viewer to focus more on the ambient sounds things like the shower the fridge or the tv turned on to the a/v channel to get that high pitched frequency it makes. it's made out of gormans maple, kozo paper, and glass.

this is "requiem" i have a video of it playing but unfortunately i don't know how to post it.

this piece is called "as clear as the voice of god." and it only played static. i only played static because to me it represents unseen forces, i mean if you think about all the different radio waves transmitting around us every day that we notice. the same might be said for gods influence it's all around us but we don't notice it, but at the same time it might not be anything at all and the radio is the one making the static in their' search there's no way of know if it's one way or the other. so i guess with this piece i was trying to describe what it's like to be agnostic.

this box was a joke and pay off big time. the name of the piece was "Waiting for relief" inside lay a single tum and when you turned the crank it make a horrible grinding noise for about three minutes but then finally it played an arpegiated "c" chord. it was so funny to watch people use this box most of them thought that they had broke it and backed away real quick. unfortunately it broke for real Wednesday night, it will no longer play the chord. but at least i named it cleverly cause it still works it's just now realief never comes.
