Condensations
Stereo Recording 4’02”
A one hour recording, Oram Ave, New Brighton, 5-6am, on the last dawn of 2013, condensed into a four minute piece. Condensations is one of an ongoing series of time-based, environmentally driven works involving sound, video and recovered materials. The recording has been sliced, compiled and played concurrently into condensations of four minutes and thirty seconds duration. Condensations are made with a minimum of editing, technical intervention or processing beyond compilation and low frequency cut.
