"Inspired by the relationship between rhythmic speech patterns, text, and consumer technologies, I am creating a sonic language that utilizes sampling production techniques, polyrhythmic structures, and pulp literature to express melodramatic narratives. The text for this body of work comes from Urban Fiction novels. Hawked on the streets of every American metropolitan city, these pulp narratives range from self-published tales of “ghetto life” to slickly packaged morsels from major publishers. Black Urban Fiction has a distinctive language that I hope to break out of its context by layering excerpts filtered through the text-to-voice function of Adobe Acrobat and Mac Automator. By presenting these freestanding phrases and paragraphs in automated voices via C.L.E.O*- a FlyGirl Super Computer, I believe layers of meaning are revealed that connect to poignant, lyrical, obscene, and often ridiculous modes of interpretation. Black Trash: A Sacred Melodrama is a work for video, sound, installation, and performance."
