B. 05.08.1985. Lives & Works in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I see ideas as a bunch of children in the house all yearning for attention. "Change my diaper, change my diaper..." I was in a car, we are going up to Cape Cod, and this nasty kid, I wanted to give that kid a smack, we are riding, go up and get there, get to Boston to stop. The kid: "I want a Coca-Cola!" "Wait, honey, another half an hour." "I want, I want my Coca-Cola now!" I want my Coca-Cola now!" "These three notes have to be done this way now! These three notes have to be done now!" Really! That's the way I see it. Like a bunch of kinder vying for attention. In fact, I don't even tell my students this, because otherwise they get confused, I don't even consider the art of composition. I consider it, I call it the "Band-Aid treatment." Just a Band-Aid, that the meaning, it started to bleed, the interval started to bleed, you put a Band-Aid on it not to see the blood, you see. Who wants blood on the page? Conceptual blood. - Morton Feldman www.brandonlocher.com |

Artist: Brandon Locher Title: Conversations Release #: MIF007 Format: CD 01. Conversations [MP3] Starting on November 21st, 2006 I started the process of building conversation and response by calling and recording random people in the Johnstown Area Phone Book. After the first conversation "Person 001: Hello. Hello?" was recorded and documented I then proceeded to call another random person with a playback recording of the previous persons' response. The person that is being called and recorded is fooled into thinking they are talking to an actual person when only they are responding to a recording of the previous conversation. As I move through the same process for each conversation, more information develops, and the concrete themes and ideas start to form more complex exchanges between the people and the recording. |

Artist: Brandon Locher Title: Bodies Release #: MIF006 Format: CD 01. Part One [MP3] 02. Part Two [MP3] 03. Part Three [MP3] Bodies is based on the German resarch scientist W.O Schumann who identified the dominant vibration in our earth's atmosphere in the mid twentieth centry. It's now known as the Schumann Resonance with the rather of 7.83 hertz, a very low and inaudible C# tone. The composition Bodies is in three parts and tries to bridge the connection and ideas between frequencies, earth & body. |
