The September 26th celebration of this temporary art piece was a resounding success. For more documentation, visit: http://www.flickr.com/groups/bridgetalksback/pool/show/.

video interview describes Bridge Talks Back

I was recently interviewed by Melissa Newell of Edmonds Community College about Bridge Talks Back, the culminating sound collage that I am putting together to celebrate this residency. I describe here what you can expect at the big Bridge Talks Back event on September 26th. You can watch the video here:

And while I'm thinking of it, I have some thanks to broadcast as I move through the end of this project:

Travis Morehead, my audio producer
Bruce Michie, the bridge electrician helping us figure out how to program this piece
Jefferson Wilson, my SF-based technical guru
Clay Allen and Steve Erickson, from the SDOT signage shop

procession prep




It's full steam ahead here in the NE tower of the Fremont Bridge. I am busy getting all the aspects of a sound installation and celebratory event off the ground for a launch of September 26, 2009. I hosted a painting-in-the-lines party in my garage last night and some deftly-fingered friends came out to help begin the long, arduous process of painting 100 placards for the big procession. Thank you so much Jessica, Tracey, Laura, Judson, Erik, Wes, Gordon, and Morgan!
