Hello friends, it’s Sasha P. We’re back and we’re world wide broadcasting today from Florence Italy with the first of 5 segments featuring original soundscapes and freshtracks. Tonight I’ve picked out a few to get us going. With the theme of anticipation. I’m over here, in Italia, with my intermedia art class, and Professor Cara Jaye, for 4 weeks!
Before we left Washington state, last Friday, wow, that feels like so long ago, I asked my my students to create short audio art works that encapsulate the feeling or feelings of anticipation. All of their responses touch on the many ways we were feeling, coping, managing, in this moment, packing up to leave home. For more than a few of us, we cast our ballots on the way to the airport, since they arrived on the eve of our departure.
What you’ll hear next includes the following, a field recording I made at take-off from the Vancouver Airport, a sonic lift off by S Cowan Quan, Carly Simon’s great song Anticipation, leading into Laila Whites Big Show. Next Nya Mace makes a found sound collage about greeting the morning that you can dance to, and Elliot Davis shares with us some sounds of home. Ella True’s track features sounds of a candle being lit, a tub being drawn, a river rushing and a roommate stums the guitar, followed by Kayla Bunton’s sound poem about bugs bugs bugs. We wrap things up with another sound poem, by Dylan Werts, who really does have a way with words, and Natasha Karkoski, using just her voice and a beat squencer, delivers us to a new land.
The last tracks include a field recording of our Air France plane landing, with the awesome and epitomous Air France landing song by L’Imperatrice called Vanille Fraise. Thank you for flying with us! I’ll play these now with no interuptions. So sit back, relax, and enjoy your flight.
