about

side B, track 4: Cookie's Lament – Similar to track 4 on side A, this piece was a single element of a larger sound piece. It was part of an installation at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans in 2001 called Somnambulant Transgression by Remote Control. It was built in a large circular gallery with a ramp that wrapped around its outer walls. The installation included a massive walldrawing of an exploded skull rendered in woodgrain styled vinyl, a xerox collage of building rubble wheat pasted to the wall, a silver foil sign of the words LUCIFER RISING in reverse and a wooden sculpture comprised of the words CONQUER DEATH. All of the letters were scrambled together with interlock geometry. Stereo speakers were mounted to the sculpture playing the randomized sound piece. Cookie is a very good friend of mine who had been hospitalized in Queens NY for pnemonia but ended up getting a major staff infection and had to have a chunk of his lung removed. Other sound sources include field recordings from The Transit Museum in Brooklyn, frogs in Sumatra, a sound piece in Vienna and radio transmissions from Java and Brooklyn pirate radio pioneers Free103Point9.
