about

This week’s project is a sound journal, an audio history of the past year. You will select a different audio element to represent each of the past 12 months of 2012. You will then select one five-second segment from each of these audio elements. Then you will stitch these dozen five-second segments together in chronological order to form one single one-minute track. There should be no overlap or gap between segments; they should simply proceed from one to the next.

These audio elements will most likely be of music that you have yourself composed and recorded, but they might also consist of phone messages, field recordings, or other source material. These items should be somehow personal in nature, suitable to the autobiographical intention of the project; they should preferably of your own making, and not drawn from third-party sources.

7 - July - 5 seconds from "Beneficial", the title track from the album of the same name, an album of quiet minimal ambient techno, released in July 2012.

8 - August - 5 seconds from 120816-2, a free track live-recorded on August 16, 2012.

9 - September - 5 seconds from "120904 Processed Slovenia" - a free track live-recorded on September 4, 2012 via "hypermiking", a process I use with live microphones and Ableton Live.

10 - October - 5 seconds of me honking my horn at some dipshit who pulled in front of me and just about caused an accident. It was captured via a voicemail I was leaving a friend. I was driving, but I had my earbuds w/microphone on so I was hands-free. I was approaching an intersection where I had a green light but a driver did a right-on-red into my lane without checking to see if there was any approaching traffic.

11 - November - 5 seconds of a field recording I captured at work of numerous people operating automatic staplers. I work in a rather large complex of two buildings, although my work space is at a considerable distance from the warehouse-like area. It's an excellent random rhythm.

12 - December - 5 seconds of "Our Trip to the Moon" by Bob Thurber, read by my wife, Ann Rushton, for the 83rd Bound Off Podcast. I recorded and edited this. Download or listen at: boundoff.com/archive.html#Issue83

Mark Rushton Iowa

I make way too much electronic music. Mostly ambient, some beat-driven.
