Three separate projects were documented through audio recordings of performances and rehearsals, as well as related field recordings. Each piece recalls a matrix of encounters between a specific body (or bodies) within a unique context, conducting and responding to sounds, both electronic and organic. The interplay of the soft tissue, sinew, bone and blood of the body-organ, pushing against/within/outside the sustained tones and synthetic expressions of the techno-organ. Each organ exists simultaneously alienated from, and an extension of, the other. Somniloquy was constructed using a recording of Tolentino “playing” the broken organ in preparation for the performance Process(ion)X at the Church of the Epiphany. The eyes of fire is based on a recording from Drive Your Cart And Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead, a nine hour performance with Julie Tolentino, Stosh Fila, and Robert Crouch at the San Francisco Art Institute, curated by Tania Hammidi. The Propaganda of History was developed from a series of recordings made during rehearsal sessions with Tolentino and Mark Steger, with additional field recordings of Fourth of July fireworks from Madison, Wisconsin." www.dragonseyerecordings.com
