about

Some time in 2006 I began applying the bowing, percussing and amplification techniques I was developing for creating sound work with the border wall along the U.S. / Mexico boundary to traditional string instruments.
I began experimenting with a viola modified with a segment of border wall detritus and piezo amplification used to amplify the wall.
Eventually these ideas migrated to the cello for the expressive dynamics, modal access and physicality the larger instrument provided.
Whereas the extended cello techniques heard on this recording began as a means to address and explore the implications of collective psychogenic mauerkrankheit hysteria and the militarized border zone insitu, today --- fourteen years later --- border wall music has no reason to be marginalized nor bound by such site specific considerations.
