Flesh ++ Blood I and II
Flesh ++ Blood I and II are two different versions of a very similar generative text and sound sculpture.
In both cases, the sounds of flesh and blood spurting, gushing, ripping, flaying, etc. are output to transducers which
are attached to large pieces of glass, as the titles of these (presumably faked) sound effects are output to a nearby monitor.
Flesh++Blood I and II are part of our ongoing work with sound effects. For more on this, click here.
Flesh ++ Blood I was first shown at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, CA, as part of ‘Bay Area Now 5′.
In this version of the piece, there are six resonators attached to a piece of glass which measures 4′ x 14′. video
Flesh ++ Blood II was first shown at the University of Texas in San Antonio, Texas. This version of the piece was designed for
stereo (2 resonators) output, is significantly smaller (3′ x 5′) and has several visual enhancements to the text output. video
