Hindenburg-murray-becker_small Scream Symphony #1 is a symphonic audio collage using authentic screams from CVR recordings, taped phone calls from 9/11 recordings from the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake and others.  In other words, screams as media that were never meant to be media, the most unwilling participants in art you’ll ever find.
