a brief audio history of agriculture
cd_08, 2005, label: oral
catalogue #: oral cd_08
a brief audio history of agriculture "this project began with an unlikely source : a t-shirt, which readif you eat, you have an interest in agriculture . from conversations about the ways in which agriculture and farming practices have shaped our lives in north america derived primal ideas on a language to represent agriculture. early in the spring of 2004, as the snow was just melting, i made some recordings of myself "playing" a derelict rusty piece of farm machinery abandon in a field. i was quite taken with the sounds i was able to record and with the extent to which i was able to "play" the machinery as an instrument. it was in these recordings that i discovered both the language and the story of this cd : a history of agriculture told using sounds created with the tools of agriculture. initially the piece intended on developing using some sort of timeline, starting with the most basic elements: seeds, soil, water... and progressing to modern day mechanized tools. a combination of the old and the new; the banging and scraping of antique metal milk containers combined with the soft humming of a contemporary milk tank coolant unit. more subtle aspects of the history of agriculture, migration, drought, a recent move away from "the family farm"... were brought in. and here it is: the brief audio history of agriculture, all on one cd.
