FAIR Read-Along

These three pieces are the read-along audio for an artist's book that I made entitled FAIR -- or -- An artful documentation of the final day of the 2002 Brockton Fair in video stills and stereophonic sound with attention to the dual nature of the 12-hour event. This is ambient sound with no commentary. For a more straightforward radio piece, please check out The Fair, also on PRX.

I recorded video from the fair on a digital video camera, and I recorded audio using headworn binaural microphones. I bound video stills into a book and created audio collages that correspond to the image sequence. The book is bound dos-a-dos and divided into DAY and NIGHT sections. The idea is that every fair is essentially 2 fairs: one is bright and friendly and family-oriented, and the other is dark and sexual and ominous.
