Do still lifes need to be put together on purpose for art? Isn’t it enough to "put a frame around the world"? Did we learn anything from Cage? At one time I did purposely put all those things together... perhaps not with artistic purpose but then again, how does one define artistic purpose? I believe the highest art is life. While making this piece, I thought about the qualities of baths and showers. Immersion. Being submerged, standing up. Able to withstand the flood. Too much of a good thing. The sound of loss in a dripping bath. The comedy of our human sounds. I would like this piece to wash over you, to tickle you, and to wake you up the way a shower does. I recorded all of the sounds on this track as I took a shower. I then built a Max/MSP patch randomizing rhythmic loops, gestures and drones, and recorded several improvisations. This is the one I liked best.
