Elephant Ears 016 ℗ & © 2010 A.J. Ptak

This sound of artist Anthony Ptak. Liner notes: Elephant Ears (2010) [1:54] This acoustic stereo recording concentrates on sound as art, as a carrier of information. We listen to the world as a system of associative indices. The field recording of the heavy steel plating on concrete floor is to be analyzed, scrutinized. Elephant ears, Elephant tears.This barely there recording was made in DUMBO, Brooklyn along an axis that occupies and transforms space. The reflected sound is navigation. Sonic materials acquired, performed, improvised, recorded and assembled by the composer. Contemplative sonic experience. Less minimal, more subtle. - AJ Ptak
