So radio art is a niche kind of within transmission arts. And what I've done here is more transmission art than it is, say, radio broadcast art. But what we do is we embrace technology as a way to realize an idea. And so there's different ways that sound gets played with when you're talking about the realm of transmission arts. For example, in the first part of my piece, you hear me speaking and you hear a lot of what some people might call distortions or feedback in the background. That comes from futurism, which is a form of transmission art which celebrates noise, speed and experimentation. It's noise sound, in six different categories. You've got thunderings, whistling, murmurs, rustling, percussion with common objects, vocal noises and then using using those sounds, and experimenting with what comes up with when you're playing with different sorts of feedback, that invites the listener and the audience to emboldened their imagination as well. All of these sound effects and music and dialogue, it helps to put them into the same sort of similar mindset that I sometimes feel when I'm when I'm talking about this vaccination story.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=0.0,99.0"},{"id":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021/transcript/65989/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And a lot of this- I've been dealing with the rage of it, the anger with it, the distrust in it, and I hope that some of the distortion and some of the undertones in the work could help to communicate that.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=99.0,115.0"},{"id":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021/transcript/65989/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"In the second part of the work I used \"Mask Off\" by Future and I essentially did a remix. Doing remixes of songs, as I understand it, is a way to interpret music and bring it into a new space. You could always argue that all interpretation is a form of creation, because all things have to be heard in relation to one another at some point, but everything's new when you move it into a different temporal or historical context. Another form of sort of, spark of transmission art also comes from, it's a movement called Fluxus which rejects intellectualism and artificial art in order to promote living art. It elevates the ordinary to reveal something that might otherwise be lost if it's all in these other different pieces. It creates, it creates a sort of world bubble to hold an idea in and construct that around. And so you can see some of that in my use of news clips. Like The Daily Show by Trevor Noah, some stuff from YouTube, NBC. I use Audacity to do a lot of my editing. And that allows me to use multiple works to speak to each other when they might not otherwise be speaking to each other.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=115.0,226.0"},{"id":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021/transcript/65989/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It could be argued that our world is constructed sonically to maintain cultural peace or cultural equilibrium or maintain the status quo. And so, those- were you uncomfortable or were you confused by the first sounds? Because some of that was on purpose. Some of that is to make the listener listen more deeply and uncover the feelings that some of those sounds might bring up. Like, there is a lot of discomfort for me around this vaccination conversation, around the surveillance society that we have been sort of forced into by this and so that discomfort that I need to listen closer, I need to understand what is actually underneath of this. That's some of the sound work that I wanted to create an environment for the listener of somewhat discomfort.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=226.0,292.0"},{"id":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021/transcript/65989/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"When you listen back, and if you're listening in headphones to this piece, which is probably ideal, it's split into left and right channel for a lot of it and in the right channel on your right ear phones, you'll hear sort of this feedback, it's like a digitalization. Kind of sounds like computers watching you all the time. Right? If you can think of it that way. And so that goes back to the surveillance society idea that I have, which is also why there's a passage from Orwell's 1984 read in the piece. All of the texts that were chosen to be read to speak back and forth to what might seem like an absence of sound where you're like, Wait, what am I listening for here? Right. All those pieces that are chosen, they're trying to speak to each other when they might never speak to each other otherwise. We have C.S. Lewis's \"Screwtape Letters\" in there for that reason, that people are swallowing a vaccination just so they can get back to normal because of the society that we have created for ourselves of what \"normal\" looks like. It leaves out people who are different, it leaves out people who have fears, it leaves out people who need more in order to feel safe but that's all constructed. And if you listen to that part with C S Lewis's \"Screwtape Letters\", that starts to be what I'm trying to communicate.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=292.0,391.0"},{"id":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021/transcript/65989/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I think part of the sounds that matched with the news clips were from James Baldwin's \"Another Country\". And I, the way I work is I choose my clips, I choose my content first, I have those all in Audacity. And from there, I start listening. I just start listening, I start playing with things. This is the emphasis in transmission arts on experimentation. Like a lot of this work is experimentation to see what's going to work and sometimes you hit something that feels good, that you've found the way the sounds and these texts start speaking to each other. For example, in James Baldwin \"Another Country\" reading back, having to deal with whiteness in every single space. That's very intentionally transitioned to the news clip about white Vermont State Troopers falsifying vaccination reports, and falsifying vaccination cards. Right, like you might not see James Baldwin say speaking, like putting those two things together brings it to a local point, also, but I wasn't sure that that's where that was going to go until I realized that they met each other in that space. And so I do a lot of listening back. I do a lot of, do I like the way this sounds? Can I play with it again, and record it in a different way with a different filter that gives a different emotion? It is of high focus on our ear. \"The Everything is Everything\" by Lauryn Hill, I did a remix of hers that closed out the piece, and I think that is to say is that it is what it is right now. And it's hard, but I am still living my life and also wanting to end this vaccination story with Black joy. We get so much of not that, of Black trauma. And there can be Black joy. Like we can, we can have that, we can show that, despite, and in face of, as we have always done, all of the difficulties that we face, all the racism that we face, all of the- and and I would like to say when listening to this, that it felt important to me as a Black person that COVID and all of this vaccination stuff was happening simultaneously to the trial for the murder of George Floyd, to social justice movements, to attacks on critical race theory and the dismissal of how vaccination requirements and COVID were impacted Black and brown communities at higher rates. And so those two things were directly intertwined for me in the making of this work and in my experience, and I just want to thank Clemmons Family Farm also for this for this space and opportunity.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://clemmonsfamilyfarminc.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1995/collection_resources/75107/file/239021#t=391.0,577.51"}]}]}]}
