This Is A Drill video

THIS IS A DRILL is my newest audio folk art dictaphone dream assemblage. In this 26-minute video you can listen to the audio and watch a slideshow of 324 photos, featuring Lumen K (Trevor Luke), and of course Stanley The Loud Mouth. Sights and sounds of my daily life from June 7th through 13th, 2019.
Two more assemblages will follow this one in the next couple of weeks and will be published together as a Bandcamp album titled JUNELY. I hope that you will enjoy this celebration of daily life. Audio was recorded with four Sony ICD-PX470 digital dictaphones, most of the photos taken with my iPhone XR. You will also hear the sounds of my Korg Minilogue synthesizer, a Casio SA-47 keyboard, and Trevor's Hologram Infinite Jets re-synthesizer pedal.
I think it looks and sounds great. I think it looks especially good in full-screen viewing mode on my desktop computer.

I really enjoyed watching, listening and absorbing this cool piece of quotidian poetry over a strong cup of joe. Seeing the pics of your mom and dad on this Father’s Day 2019 was very powerful. Thanks for posting on the EC site, our home away from home.

    I have been making my own homemade experimental music since 1981.

    I was an active participant in the 1980s Cassette Culture scene, and I operated the Cause And Effect Cassette Distribution Service and label, and recorded solo as Dog As Master, and in a duo as Viscera.

    I published six issues of the original Electronic Cottage print magazine, 1989-91.

    In the last 44 years I have recorded, produced and released more than 300 solo audio works, collaborations and compilations.
