about

Dissolution, LP originally released on Glistening Examples in 2016. The release included limited edition clear vinyl with 35mm slides embedded into the LPs and limited edition green vinyl LPs. Limited editions included custom layered found 35mm slides from the artist (signed).

Dissolution is a reflection upon human “webs of significance,” and an investigation into the ways that electronic communications/recording technologies, both past and present, facilitate, complicate and transmute the formation of these webs. Sounds of shortwave radio, municipal broadcast recordings, fragments of found microcassette tapes, tones and instruments dramatize the fragility and failures of communication and language in shaping memory and experience. Dissolution will be released on Glistening Examples in November, 2016.
