sweets by patchbaydoor / steven hammer
sweets is a collection of sounds recorded live during 2021 at the East Dakota Tourism Bureau and assembled as an audible misunderstanding of genre and love:
These sweets are empty pleasures, and those reflective soapy bubbles bustpop just as they’re touched. Figures. Words failed you, but don’t worry: we livelive in lossy time[s]! (though bubba always-already knew that) If hunger strikes when you miss someone you shouldn’t, it sure feels reel in your chest. War never knocks softly in our neighborhood. I hope you remember next time that running away while drinking warmwater will only hurt your knees and breakyourjaw. And you might now feel like a maraschinocherry; did you know they are bleached before they’re made sicksweet for yourdrink? So, Deer[horned]Reader, to summer-ize and find an ex-it: while loving love is simple[syrup], it's best enjoyed in separate suites.
Sounds & processes & structures were co-determined by the instruments & designs of Meng Qi, Peter Blasser, and Will Schorre
