Dear friends,<br><br>I'm pleased to announce the release of a new mp3 work entitled<br><br>"Living Daylight Savings Time"<br><br>Download it here:<br><a href="http://www.insidesmusic.com/insidesmusic/daylightsavings.html">http://www.insidesmusic.com/insidesmusic/daylightsavings.html</a><br>
<br>Composed entirely of field recordings made across the United States, "Living Daylight Savings Time" unfolds as a long-form piece epic in scope yet intimate in detail. The work explores subtle yet radical audio transformations, juxtapositions, and transitions over long periods of time, patiently emerging over about 50 minutes.<br>
<br>The start of the piece plunges the listener into a darkness that gradually reveals itself as the hustle and bustle of a food court in NYC's LaGuardia Airport. Lawn sprinklers, sea lions, windblown leaves, and a variety of public spaces (the New York Public Library, the midway of the Minnesota State Fair, the interior of an airplane at 30,000 feet) materialize and coalesce, eventually dissolving or unraveling into digital oblivion. The resulting dream logic explores a new wilderness humankind has carved out of the old one.<br>
