about

Created as a both an experiment in processed audio and as a celebratory document of my daughter Penelope's arrival into this world. After Penelope was born, I set out to find as many songs as possible, recorded by anyone in any genre or era, that used the word "baby" or "babies" in its title. After a couple weeks of compiling I ended up with almost 200 different songs, and sat down to build an overwhelming thirty-minute wall of sound by combining every single one. The claustrophobic and seemingly endless nature of the piece seemed to perfectly echo the euphoria I felt the minute she was born, although if I'm honest, nothing else could truly replicate that sensation. Never quite content to play with something only once, I sat down with the final sound collage again and this time worked it into a more inert ambient state. This second piece ended up over the forty-minute mark and finds the source sound reduced to a simple warm drone pulse. Fittingly, this piece is titled one minute after Penelope's time of birth, once again echoing the feeling of having my emotions and energy flushed out of me in less than one minute, brought on by the simple sound of her voice, the touch of her hand and the weight of the word "father".

Thriambus
