backyard divine by orphanage
Audio component of final project created for Christine Hume's course "Praxis: The Walk" as part of EMU's creative writing graduate program, Fall 2015.
"backyard divine" is comprised of five melodic audio collages, incorporating looped minimal music crafted from manipulated recordings, lulling across a bed of found sounds. All audio recorded with a Nokia Lumia cell phone, compiled and edited using Audacity.
Each musical composition is accompanied by a collage poem/prose piece, all language for which was taken from a series of digital divination sessions through two websites offering online versions of the ancient Chinese I Ching practice of yarrow stalk fortune-telling: the language of the occult sculpted into scattered modern-day dreams.
