Fog And Expectations was created during 2011 using Urban Bazaar's backyard garden space as a wonderful backdrop. It's a sonic installation that interfaced with the quiet greenery as well as the sounds of pedestrians and machinery on Ninth Avenue. It's a generative composition of melodic fragments derived from bells, pianos and field recordings. When installed on multiple players, it plays indefinitely without repeating. The melodic fragments are composed so that the installation will always play a similar - but never the same - song.
The piece was first installed at Urban Bazaar (1371 9th Avenue, at Judah) on the afternoon of May 8; video footage from that day is below. Work on Fog and Expectations has continued since then. There last installation there was August 14; not sure where it will go next!
Contact David via this website if you’d like to create your own Fog and Expectations installation. It is ideally suited for 6-8 CD/iPod/iPad players with speakers placed in the periphery of a garden or other outdoor space where the tones and sounds will merge with existing ambiences. A stereo reduction CD is also available.
In addition to sound and music recorded in the studio, Fog and Expectations also uses fragments of material contributed by freesound artists Omar Alvarado, bbmario, Benboncan, C. Beeching, cdiupe, cfork, Cloudform, E330, Jovica, kerri, klankbeeld, Omara Alvarado, MaxMan, Sarana and yragentman.
If you'd like to just hear the sounds, here's a stereo sample of the piece:
