SOUND PORTRAITS
I have been making sound portraits since 1985, when I crossed the Brooklyn Bridge with a cassette recorder to make a field recording that became the basis for the work 饾槉饾槼饾槹饾槾饾槾饾槳饾槸饾槰. This was followed by three more solo works: 饾槗饾槳饾槮饾樁饾樄, 饾槢饾槱饾槼饾槮饾槮 饾槡饾槹饾樁饾槸饾槬 饾槜饾槹饾槼饾樀饾槼饾槩饾槳饾樀饾槾 饾槹饾槯 饾様饾槩饾槬饾槼饾槳饾槬; 饾槙饾槮饾樃 饾槧饾槹饾槼饾槵 饾槉饾槹饾樁饾槸饾樀饾槮饾槼饾槺饾槹饾槳饾槸饾樀, and 饾様饾槩饾槬饾槼饾槳饾槬 饾槉饾槹饾樁饾槸饾樀饾槮饾槼饾槺饾槹饾槳饾槸饾樀, all of which combined field recordings from a chosen place with live instrumental improvisations. Since then, most of my works in this genre have been collaborations with local improvisers, including 饾槇饾槼饾槩饾槰贸饾槸 饾槺饾樁饾槸饾樀饾槹 饾槫饾槮饾槼饾槹, 脥饾槸饾槾饾樁饾槶饾槩饾槾, and 饾槗饾槳饾槾饾槪饾槹饾槸-10 饾槡饾槹饾樁饾槸饾槬 饾槜饾槹饾槼饾樀饾槼饾槩饾槳饾樀饾槾.
Most have been released as CDs or CD-books, except for 饾槗饾槩饾槫饾樁饾槾饾樀饾槼饾槮, my sound portraits of the lake district of Michoac谩n inhabited mainly by the indigenous Purepecha. This work was performed live in Morelia and twice more in Mexico City but never released as a recording.
