More Info

"I was walking through midtown Manhattan two days ago, listening to the great turbulence of the city with fresh ears, after listening to Scott Sherk’s ‘New York Glyptic’. Live, the foreground was sharp and full of variety, but fleeting, and this aspect of the city’s soundscape often dominates in audio portraits of New York. In Scott’s beautiful work street life arises, then dissolves into extended textures stretching the city, like bubble gum, then he snaps back into close focus and I once more hear the tremendous energy pouring from mouths and feet.

While walking, when my mind drifted and refocused on my schedule etc., the soundscape around me merged into a complex shifting hum, and I realized that for me, his portrait also oscillates between those two states, external openness and interiority. By the end, he has dissected and recaptured that multi-layered hum, which is like the air, omnipresent."
