You are in my Sights (Missing Mountain Lost Dreaming)

When work started on two new houses that are going to block my view of the mountain, this 'dream sequence' came to mind... The soundtrack is comprised of recorded sounds from the builders' activities, and environmental sounds including sparrows and a peacock.

Homage for John Cage's 100th - 5 September 2012

Had he still been alive, John Cage would have been 100 today. So I made a simple homage to mark the occasion:

Change something. Change nothing. [Sleeve]

Score:
One sleeve up.
One sleeve down.
For the duration.

Speech Bomb Credo

An exploration of what it means to be an artist in today's world. Me? I'm just happy blowing bubbles...  :-)

Caged Piano with Silent Keyboard

Nothing's changed. The piano is still in its 'Cage' mode of Silence with the 'keyboard' stairs. I wonder if taking a photo changes something... ;-)

Changed Glasses - Unchanged World?

 My eyes have changed, but has the world changed....?

When cleaning my new multifocal glasses (this time with my old glasses on), I noticed a series of faint numbers across the lenses. Thinking it was a lab mistake, I phoned the optometrist. Apparently this is normal!

Now, as I navigate through this new awareness, so many questions are emerging...

How am I measuring the world? what is 2 25, that tree? my dog's tail? that cloud? how far does 2 25 stretch? if I put my glasses on upside down is the new measurement 52 2? how many things can I ascribe the amount of 5 VS or VS 5 to?

Hhhhmmmm....  ;-)

It has turned into a new (if somewhat personal) performance score:
FluxScore:
2 25   5 VS   VS 5   2 25

Excerpt from Conversation with a Silent Piano

...and here's an excerpt from the performance  :-)

Preparing for Performance

About a week ago, I noticed the piano was still under the stairs. So I prepared for a performance...

[change same old shoes by polishing]

Piano - Noise - Non-noise

At the local art school, the piano is stored (temporarily) under the stairs. The keyboard is inaccessible.

Interested in the stillness of the piano, I went to take a photo not realising my iPhone was on video record. Once the video was uploaded to my computer, I found it had captured a strange noise...

...a piano in pain?

Here it is, just simply looped and tweaked a bit:
