Piece Description

Hurry! Complete this sentence: "My body is..." That's the question I posed to people randomly for this piece, which was originally produced for a unique "sound wall" at The Leonardo, Salt Lake City's new science, culture, and art museum. The museum was promoting public responses to the touring BODY WORLDS 3 exhibition. While the first recording involved only museum staff, "part 2" is a collection of voices found around Salt Lake City. This multilingual piece presents an array of self-definitions, ranging from thoughtful and poetic, to just weird. Stay tuned for "part 3."
