TIME CAPSULES was written by David Ossman 1972-1985 using found texts he collected under the title Pieces for Speakers. The voices were recorded at Westport Coffeehouse Theater by Tom Ptacek under the direction of Otherworld Media‘s Judith Walcutt in 2020 while David Ossman and Judith Walcutt were visiting artists at the Kansas City Art Institute. Mixed by Dwight Frizzell and Daniel D’Angelo for the From Ark to Microchip series.

HELIOPHONIE 2020: Cell 8 ~ Myth-Science Ensemble
Our sun rings like a bell every 4 minutes 48 seconds (as initiated here on a solar gong). Overtones pulse in quadra-pole rotation (realized by the instrumentalists mixed in surround). The solar storms moving vigorously through the heliosphere are sonified here by Patrick Conway on the congas, opening gates to the sun’s harmonic streams.
