CA #030 [christopher mcfall - grayscale is failing]
“Grayscale Is Failing was composed from a variety of digital and treated analog field recordings. The resulting compositions were conceived through a variety of computer-based manipulations. For me, this grouping of works has assumed a very visual quality, as the source recordings used to create it were procured in the metropolitan districts of Kansas City, USA during the winter of 2007. I feel that these works tend to portray a digital vision of the subtle aspects of winter in urban America; it’s long nights and short days shadowed by overcast skies, giving way to portraits of dimly lit buildings and city streets that serve as a scaffolding for the continuous advance of technology, while at the same time, allowing for the mass consumption of the remnant.”
