m. northam: memoirs of four discarded objects cd

wandering through vacated paths of life one takes notice of the drift metal left forgotten along the side of roads - the last remains of the once useful now superfluous - therein these forgotten things lay stories of molecular processes, an elemental re-contextualization perhaps one can see these as a deposit of time along a route from worth to worthlessness - with this in mind four objects were chosen to translate this ephemeral state into a sonic topography making into memories this re-animated still nature. the objects were played, manipulated and the resulting sounds electronically mined and re-contextualized to create immersive fields of sound - as a multidimensional painting - each reflecting an observation of the materials internal qualities - physical and analogical.
