Two of my plunderphonic poetry pieces are going to be included in the show Cabaret Xcen*trick at the South Bend Regional Museum of Art in South Bend, Indiana. One is a poem (Tell Ya One Thing) assembled from various samples of public speech, and the other is a remix consisting of unintentional sounds from the first ("Tell Ya Another.") The first one took about three days to put together in P'o Tools, for a productivity rate of 1:16 per working day. (3:48 total.) The second one was a bit better for productivity.
The show is being held in the museum's Warner Gallery, and the sound works will be in the Project Room, located off the Art League Gallery, so I'm told. The show runs from October 12 to November 10. Try to get over if you can; it's unlikely that I'll be able to make it, however. There is an opening/cabaret event on October 12, from 7 pm to midnight--18 and older, $7 cover charge, and two bands...but remember that a) I won't be there, and b) the Project Room will probably be closed during this event. So if you do come out to the opening, try to make it back later during regular hours to check out the Xcen*trick Sounds. I know I'm psyched about it.
