selective listening

mom & me, los angeles, CA 



 

New Mexican parents
Erlinda & Valentino, first mirrors. pride, dried beans and inflammation.
collector of children’s art
just trying to do some laundry &
misses you a lot

sound as records of our connections & departures
current experiments draw from an archive of infinitely personal recordings,
or soundmarks:
dad’s hands cleaning dried beans
the flap of our clothes outside on the line
the creak of the front gate to home
each moment becomes its own instrument, its own layer of composition
a washing and wringing out of memory meant to be overheard like a poem
again and again

often under the alias selective listening, the work evolves through vinyl dj sets, live sound collage, and sound design for film and movement.
