found sounds for Sunday morning

found sounds

"Recorded May 2003
A sonic exploration of concrete sounds. Not loud at all. Simple-minded attitude. Objects treated as instruments, instruments treated as objects, etc."

creaky and clicky. Interesting compositions culled from the found sound world. Background sounds for an odd day.

found Photos 2

The soldier standing with some older folks and the man in the photo labeled 1920 might be my favorites.

found Photos

When this blog first started it was going to be about more than music, it was going to be about found stuff too. I like to look through old stuff. I like looking at old stuff. I like finding old stuff. I came across these photos in my grandparent's basement. From what I understand my grandfather bought the house next door to his old house from an older couple that had no living relatives. With the house came all their possessions...maybe. My grandparents recently passed and part of my dealing with it process has been to look through boxes and trunks and things full of old stuff in their home. In one particular box I found a pile of stuff belonging to these neighbors. Postcards, newspaper clippings, letters, love letters, bills of sale, etc. There were also some pictures from the early 1920's that I think are pretty cool. So here are some of them. Music later. More photos later.

postings of found things.

comin' up later. photo's from the 1920's and some sort of music to go with them.
