Paints Things
Sometimes,
I Don't Know Why,
But I Like To Stare,
At The Sky.

23 singing
lamp posts
This sound
work is made up from field recordings of singing (humming, buzzing, ect.) lamp
posts. Over a two week period i took nocturnal walks around Rochdale and
Todmorden searching out and documenting the few posts that produce audible
frequencies. I was interested to find that singing posts uniformly emit the
same root frequency, around 200Hz, just under G sharp. Other harmonics commonly
occur, 5ths and Major 3rds along with a whole host of rattles, buzzes and other
characteristics that are specific to each post. The sounds are presented
consecutively in a 1:54 min loop. The project is ongoing with a CD release
planned sometime this year.
