  • Sound Experiments: The Water Is Rising

    At the beginning of March in Paris, the Seine rose significantly due to excessive spring rains. Many of the homeless people that live by Seine were displaced from their place of displacement. Logs and debris floated down the river, and perhaps I even spied a the body of pig. I can’t be sure. Meanwhile I… Read more

  • Copenhagen Conversations

  • Sound Experiments: Pine Cones and Crow Scares

    Trying to make the most if all, I manage to whip up this little piece in the last few hours in the studio, based on two visits to the Bois de Boulogne on March 20 & 22. The Louis Vuitton Foundation is up on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne. While I wait for… Read more
