![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Autumn Rain in the Yard - the Beige Channel This CD results from the confluence of accident, documentation, and reflection. I sat my 17 month-old daughter in front of the piano without any expectations of what would happen. What she began to play was so extraordinary, I ran to get my video camera to record it.

![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Shadow of the Dolls: Ossicles #2: compositions using processed field recordings + a remix - the Beige Channel "Shadow of the Dolls," the second volume of the Ossicles series, is a phonographic meditation on doll consciousness, a term associated with the concept with ego death, but in this instance has to do with the perception of the undersized, the miniature, and the overlooked. An appreciation, or just the acknowledgement, of the small and undramatic. A celebration of the modest. I was interested in recognizing and personalizing the ordinary...
