RECORDING
AUDIO 1980-2024
231 WEST MAIN STREET
The recordings were created in resistance to the restrictions of relative and situational poverty.
Recording events that shaped my life has always seemed crucial. I can’t really explain why that is. Possibly my grandmother Bessie McLeod’s predilection for recounting family stories. I only know that making a record of events has predominantly remained the case.
Handwritten notebooks, journals, field audio, compositions, photographs and at one time drawings were always in progress.
Like Leon in Bladerunner going
back to collect “his precious photographs,” I carted my photographs, handwritten notebooks
and audio recordings around from station to station for over fifty years. Similar to Leon their value was above all other material possessions.
Recording gave me improved living and improved mental health. It provided an imaginative space to be creative to learn and share.
The recordings were created in resistance to the restrictions of relative and situational poverty. Initially most of the audio equipment was borrowed or bought cheaply second hand.
