about

The audio for Post Modem Discourse was originally conceived in 2006 as a Conceptual Art audio-book version of my M.F.A. thesis, of the same name. Post Modem Discourse technically builds upon ideas and themes addressed in THUGGED OUT/Thug Doubt. However, this work is the beginning of my meditations on the topics of idol worship, representation, and the chasm between information and knowledge.

Musically, Post Modem Discourse was my first attempt at a straight-ahead audio collage. In the spirit of Romare Bearden, PMD is an appropriation and recontextualization of samples, conversational audio, and images as metaphors. Most, if not all, sounds were copied and pasted into Cool Edit Pro, with a few samples punched in from a Gemini DS-824 sampler, or a Roland MS-1 sampler.
