Insight #437,576,495: Artist residencies at on time must have well been regarded as loony bins! I had to step outside myself and laugh as I realized what Jennida and I must have looked like as we shuffled around the bell at Oxbow Friday afternoon collecting Binaural sounds. The bell is rung 30 min before each meal as sort of a claxon for assembly-communal time. The important thing when doing any sound recording is to avoid capturing any unintended audio. This resulted in a lot of hand gesturing and non-verbal facial expressions as we directed each other’s movements and communicating our next intensions. I think we must have looked like lunatics! That’s fine- its fun AND productive. The chance to experiment, the chance to fail, the chance to succeed. Here no one looks at you funny- so don’t sweat it! In fact, enjoy it.
Later that night there was a Party and bonfire, which was a great way to end it all.
Saturday morning we had breakfast and sad some farewells packed up and hit the road. The two highlights of the trip to Ohio were stopping at Red’s Hot Dogs in Paw Paw, Michigan, and ultra stellar root beer! Homemade and served in a frosty mug…. in our car!
Later that day after some miscalculations and wrong turns we met up with our friend and Pillotone mate Belinda in Cary, Ohio as she was simultaneously traveling up RT 23 to Michigan to drop off work for a show.
