He also believed that windows can be a place to ponder alienation.<br><br>As it turns out, Nick\u2019s home recording studio is positioned near a large window. I noticed this on a video call; it seemed a perfect point of departure for a new project. It was the kind that had a title before anything was recorded: WINDOWS. This is not unusual for our ongoing conversations and collaborative projects as small_bars. We quickly began generating sounds and passing them back and forth. The conversations continued, mentioning the work and ideas of Sister Corita Kent, Rebecca Solnit, Jennifer Roberts, and Gordon Matta Clark (archival audio from a GMC interview punctuates sections of the audio). Flavored by the dialectic of interior\/exterior, discovering how that may reflect the dynamics of audience\/performer, text\/reader, and image\/viewer. Forms that are in deep dialogue but maintain a distinct condition of never being able to empathize with the totality of their counterparts. Like an index doesn&#8217;t look like the object it represents but instead implies it, the interior cannot exist without the exterior. Together but alone and the charged space in between.&nbsp;<br>Over the course of a few weeks, the project began to take shape. I enjoy when we are in the thick of projects, text messages back and forth throughout the day alerting me that new sounds and mixes await in the share drive folder. Time and space collapse; it feels like an extended hangout sometimes. My friend Nick and I have been making art and sound together for some time, and this winter, this project marks 6 years of small_bars. I appreciate our friendship and collaboration; they create an object between work and family. It\u2019s warm with our best intentions and reminders of our hometown connection. We hope that you enjoy this project. In these alienating times, it reminds you to connect and make art with friends and family.&nbsp;&nbsp; (RM)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smallbars.bandcamp.com\/album\/windows\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/smallbars.bandcamp.com\/album\/windows\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">released January 20, 2025 via our Bandcamp page<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AUDIO:&nbsp;<br>23 minutes of sound: MIDI synth, samples, audio verit\u00e9, loops, and live instrumentation.
