An occasional non-narrated storytelling mixtape. The series is an experiment in sound design; audio stretched apart, and glued back together again. Part mix tape. Part noise art. Part sound experiment. All non-narrated audio storytelling. YOUR STORIES, TOLD IN YOUR OWN VOICE YOV is produced by…

    Episode 03: Neil Harbisson was born with Achromatopsia (ACHM) – he sees the world in grayscale. Yet he perceives more colors than normal sighted humans – and not just the colors that you and I perceive, but infrareds and ultra violets. Neil is the world’s first cyborg to interpret color as sound. The experimental music sequence features samples from “PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH MY FRANKENSTEIN” by Jared C. Balogh. (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Balogh/Irrelevant_Future/PLEASE_DONT_MESS_WITH_MY_FRANKENSTEIN) Also featured is a sample from the track “ItrTtistc (Impossible To Reverse/Time That Is Still To Come)”, a composition out of the Infrasound Laboratory at the University of Hawaii.

    Episode 02: In 1982, a teenage Andy Pop recorded an album in his bedroom. Andy played a homemade synthesizer, and recorded using gear that he’d assembled from magazine kit modules. A handful of people heard the recordings before the tape was packed away, and forgotten about for thirty years. In 2012, that tape got Andy a record deal. This is the story of Tape Recorder And Synthesizer Ensemble (T.R.A.S.E). Thanks to.. The Seaport & The Airport (https://soundcloud.com/theseaportandtheairport) for throwing around the crossfade on Andy’s Influence mix. Eleanor Kagan and Brad Mielke for responding to my plea for tape SFX. BUY T.R.A.S.E music: http://www.finderskeepersrecords.com/shop/t-r-a-s-e-tape-recorder-and-synthesiser-ensemble/

    Wowee Zowee! The World's Most Prolific Artist.

    Episode 01: Steve Keene is, perhaps, the world's most prolific artist. Over the past twenty years he’s created in excess of 250 000 paintings. Keene obsesses over quantity. He works on 60-80 artworks at a time, surrounding himself with plywood canvas duplicates that he paints simultaneously – oftentimes across multiple works with the same dipped brush. Keene’s work is as much performance art as highbrow craft. A College DJ in the 1990s, Steve's art draws heavy influence from music. A part of the indie scene in Charlottesville, Virginia, Steve is perhaps best known for his album cover artworks - including fan favorite Pavement album, "Wowee Zowee". That music scene guided Steve's approach to the creation and distribution of his work. I spent a morning with Steve at his Greenpoint, Brooklyn studio, to gain an insight into his creative process.
