Toothtone
for Nancy Lupo's Open Mouth, as part of Current:LA 2019 Public Art Triennial
October 13, 2019 in Pershing Square, Los Angeles
Toothtone was composed using the recorded voices of strangers I approached in Pershing Square, Los Angeles throughout the month of September 2019. I would scan the square, and when I felt I could hold eye contact comfortably with someone, I would approach them with my big boom microphone and ask them if they would be willing to talk to me and let me record them for any amount of time up to one hour, for the modest fee of $20. I recorded 9 people this way. This composition was then separated into 16 channels, each channel piped out of speakers I built out of clear acrylic sheet and hung as invisibly as possible under 16 benches made by artist Nancy Lupo. Nancy Lupo's 16 benches were placed in an ellipse formation in Pershing Square for 2 months, as an artwork called Open Mouth. She invited me to perform there. The benches vibrated by the sounds of the voices. On the night of October 13th, 2019, each bench emitted a voice, and the 16 benches played the composition
