Adding to the already saturated world of iPods, car radios, and industrial sound seems contradictory. Because of this belief it was my intent to create a space for reflection different from everyday experiences, one that would leave the listener more aware of their surroundings. A sort of contemplative exercise. The sounds are at the same time music and Musak, intended for the foreground or the background. The listener can focus on it; or not. The listening experience rewards attention but is also non-obtrusive, never intending to obscure the thoughts of the listener. It is non-confrontational and yet challenges the listener to observe subtle changes over time and to actively listen rather than passively hear.<br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/fc69211366a3f6ca9e6a0094fe5a95a4/fc69211366a3f6ca9e6a0094fe5a95a4.mpga">April 8th pt. 1</a><br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/da47689c48b32c8c7de0e6f123e95f89/da47689c48b32c8c7de0e6f123e95f89.mpga">April 8th pt. 2</a><br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/4c3e858fc267e8208acc7f7ef74aba0e/4c3e858fc267e8208acc7f7ef74aba0e.mpga">April 10th</a><br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/8b5681e1f203b48a6b95511aa69b3951/8b5681e1f203b48a6b95511aa69b3951.mpga">April 11th</a><br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/5c5a58c4870bf0055bb298b28687f3e1/5c5a58c4870bf0055bb298b28687f3e1.mpga">April 12th</a><br/><br/>audio: <a href="http://www.mnartists.org/uploads/users/user_22365/2398459adc3cef11893d406da4c0a5e0/2398459adc3cef11893d406da4c0a5e0.mpga">April 15th</a><br/> Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:52:06 GMT Kevin T Springer
