Bathroom Sound Sculpture Appliance
I'm still not really sure what I think about sound sculpture, but I'm getting more interested. I recently followed a boingboing link to these ... uh, field recordings? or whatever they are. I've been noticing and wanting to record the sound at the Superfund site for a long time - the water, trains, birds, dogs, etc. -- so maybe I'll submit something.
Anyway, I remain convinced that if you're going to have noise-based art of some kind (that isn't music -- or even if it is, I guess), the bathroom is the best place to put it, and refining that idea, on a more practical level what I'd like is an appliance that is a built-in bathroom fan, light and radio. Maybe a heater, too. You know how hotels have the bathroom fan/heater/light combos? Sometimes they have a timer? It would be like that, only plus a radio. So that when you turn the light on, the radio comes on automatically. I'll bet someone is selling that, but I can't find it.
(BTW, one reason why I've been less inspired to blog lately is my scanner broke, so it's harder to create appropriate illustrations.)
