CD RELEASE PARTY APRIL 25, 2015 - LA VOIRIE BIEL BIENNE
I began the Project  "Durch die Blumen" in January of 2014 creating a fragment of the work every month for a year until completion in January 2015. The frame of the work is rooted in its monthly recordings. I chose an artist for each month of the year, created a text for the artist during the month that we were to record, and met with them for a one take session in which all recordings take place in my atelier. The intention was to let the text and the relationship that the artist had with the text be the driving force of the recording and by allowing the random factors to play a key role the theme of speaking through the flowers began to translate itself through the work and creation of each text.

Here is Text from One of the 13 pieces created for durch de Blumen - A year long recording collaboration with 13 musicians to be shared fully and released April 2015 - Napoleon`s Black Wife was recorded with Kevin Chesham July 2015

Napoleon`s Black Wife

April 2014

Constructing our conversations

Our lens

This camera is an eye   not a mirror

William asked                How do you short circuit control?

 Through the Flowers Through the Flowers

Out of time    into space

1965 was a very good year

Where is Streets Of Chance

Images as skin              There are buckets of just skin

Who is this WE

Click click click

Does our resistance have to be  control`s  weaponry 

Monster to Monster

Think in images

The reader is   collage

The text are    damaged

Africa is being born again

Cross layers speak

How the cleanup functions

Interrupt repetition

Energy devices

The driver said    Once you get there it will make sense

To be forever locked out

Our historical reference is not romantic or lost completely

Photographing construct

Write what I do with image

Why I do it

Why is the reader confident

Poe`s interior

My ears gently gently broken in two long enemy camps

No more notes of the dead

Who fills

Who stores

If you can`t buy it      Do you have any idea what it might look like or be

Test the air for attachment

Cut-ups are no longer difficult to comprehend

Visual literature   presupposes cleaner and easier

A long time ago

There is more

Than one way to altar our work
