(2003- Ongoing)
each time song is played and heard a hostile exchange takes place. the artists original intention, narrative or “meaning” is offered yet simultaneously the listener forcefully reinterprets the words and music in the light of their own experience and current emotional requirements. This trade is further augmented by the specifics of the site or pace of the hearing (car? Restaurant? Internet?) and the mechanics of that delivery (intimate mp3, shop speakers?).
the without permission series is a series of works (started in 2003) that attempts to force yet another voice and/or narrative (visual and textual) into this process. The aim was never piracy but simply to complicate things. It is my hope that artists/groups/authors whose music is used in this project will see that their music and lyrics are treated with respect, without claims and not for profit. If you would like your music removed please email and it will be taken down. Doing this INSTEAD of suing my arse off would be most appreciated.
