about

On July 17, 2016 the United States Border Wall in Sasabe, Arizona was struck 59 times --- one time to honor the life of every man, woman and child who died because of border militarization in Southern Arizona since the first of the year.
~
This performance was the premiere of Until There Are No More Deaths --- an original percussion score written for border walls wherever they exist.
~
In October, the original recording of the border wall performance was released into The TANK an acoustical marvel and a sonic wonder of the world, with a swirling, shifting reverberation longer and richer than the Taj Mahal’s. This once-abandoned 65′ tall, 40′ wide steel water tank from the age of steam engines is now The TANK Center for Sonic Arts in Rangely, Colorado — a unique destination for artists, sonic explorers, and curious visitors to learn how to listen in a whole new way.
~
Equipment used for the retanking of the border wall was a pair of KRK Rokit 8 studio monitors, a pair of Josephson sub-cardioids microphones in XY arrangement 8' up, and a pair of Rode NT5 Omnis hung high in the Tank at aprox 20' and 40'. Preamplification and mix via Sound Devices 442, recorded to Denon DN-700R.
~
This Bandcamp download includes the original recording, the retanking and a mix of the retanked recording and the dry signal to create a bit more presence.
~
Since that performance, the number to 169 deaths total in 2016 according to the Humane Borders data base. www.humaneborders.info/app/map.asp
