After
6 months of travelling to Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar,
and Japan,
I will be exhibiting a new corner-installation based on radio
and environmental
recordings made while visiting these countries.
In
this piece direct radio recordings are mixed with recordings
in which I 'played' a portable shortwave
radio on location, capturing the sounds of both radio and environment.
The sounds are then played through a boom-box style radio in
the space.

Swamp,
Koh Payam, Thailand, 6:00 a.m. February 12, 2005
The Seattle Art Museum celebrated it's grand opening of the
newly expanded downtown facility May 5-6, 2007, and was open
for 35 hours straight. I currently live right next to the Seattle
Art Museum in the Diller hotel, a building that houses many
artists & musicians.
For 20 minutes, at 10:00 a.m., I played a field recording I
gathered of an early morning swamp in southern Thailand out
the window on to First Avenue, loud enough to be present amongst
the sounds of the city. The sounds of many critters, a beautiful
orchestra of sorts, made of many un-identifiable players, were
bounced off of the buildings in the area. I walked outside to
listen for myself. No one really seemed to notice. My wife Linda
mentioned that a small group of chickadees came and hung out
in the tree next to the window, curious about these mysterious
sounds made in another language.
I
like to think of it as an
ephemeral time based audio painting, an ear photograph that
I poured out the window and bled into, with, around, and through
all of the architectural spaces downtown, blending with the
sounds which occurred at that time.
Click here for a short video made
of the setup which delivered the sound : a laptop running pro-tools,
a 1965 Roberts tube amp, and a 1980 american acoustics lab speaker
in the window (mono).

Artist Statement
My work often includes
multifaceted remarks in which I reference time, place,
presence, collecting, archiving, archaeology, surface,
finding, and history; references to media and the delivery
of information inherent within, the resonance of the media
object, and our ongoing relationship with obsolescence.
Another aspect of my work process begins with gathering
drawings, audio recordings, or video in locations; usually
in ‘natural’ environments or during travels
to other cultures. These combines of re-configured information
are delivered in structures which present to the person
who experiences the work multiple points for which to
access our place in relation to the expanse of information,
location, propaganda, and existence.

found objects, or drawings);
and re-combining, manipulating, and placing these materials
into installation or combine settings
imbued with multiple contextual references.
These
sytems reference obsolescence, the cast-off object, and
the natural environment;
while cross-referencing and layering time, place, abstraction,
and realist assemblage.
Current

Peschong, Brent
Watanabe,
and music group Factums.
His work has been is exhibited
in regional and international venues including

Omega Point (Tokyo) and others.
His visual and sound work has appeared in catalogs, magazines
and newspaper reviews internationally,
including such periodicals as Sculpture,
Art US, the
Sound Projector, and The
Wire.
His field recordings, music, and sound art has been aired
on
"..as..", "Sound
Projecting", and "Framework"
radio shows on Resonance
Radio, London, UK 2003-2006.
