Conversations
Brandon Locher’s Conversations is a collection of telephone recordings consisting of one single serial chain of phone calls from each of the 48 Continental United States. The initial confused answerer is recorded and then used to playback in a new call to another randomized receiver. That person’s response is then taped and played back for another confused recipient, over and over, State to State.
Locher is currently producing tracks for each State, starting in Minnesota and ending in Sound Dakota. These new recordings presented by Radius - New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine - begin 1 hour and 19 minutes into the project. To listen to tracks 1-12 - Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania. More at http://www.ubu.com/sound/locher.html
