THIS
COLLECTION
In 1996, after setting up and documenting my
installation at the Falkirk Cultural Center, I set about filming as
much of SoundCulture 96 as possible, then returned to Tacoma and put
the tapes in a box. Twenty two plus years later, just before Beth
Custer and I performed at Wakushoppu in Prague, we wondered if we had
met before and I said "I think Trimpin introduced us at a concert in
San Francisco in the mid-90s where you played various instruments with
him.” Beth did not remember until I mentioned that the performance took
place within an installation of Trimpin’s. “Must have been at New
Langton then...” but neither of us recalled the connection to
SoundCulture 96 until I got back to my Wisconsin studio and found the
cache of tapes, 14 hours worth, in excellent condition. So I copied the
Hi8 tape of Beth and Trimpin's performance to digital, did some editing
and sent it to Beth who was grateful. Then I discovered she had played
another event at The New Langton Art, with Brenda Hutchinson and
Laetitia Sonami… and my interest was peeked. A month later, now, I have
copied and edited almost everything I filmed at SoundCulture 96, the events I
had accesss to, and then created this page for others.
These tapes were recorded to an analog medium which topped out at
720x480 pixels. I did not have digital editing gear until a year or so
after this so most of this footage is edited in-camera. Even so, the
mp4 versions here have fairly good sound except when a source, like the
human voice, was not amplified and distant. DS
