about

Run On Sentence (1997) was created with the help of improvisations by bassist, Todd Sickafoose. The piece explores the issue of human identity and integrity in a culture that is obsessed with consumer driven capitalism. Driving down a street in a southern California suburb, a person is confronted with a run on sentence of billboards, neon signs, and advertisements. Run On Sentence explores this issue through a driving and mechanical tape part which is juxtaposed with improvised phrases from the double bass. The tape part was created from bass samples processed in Soundhack and Pro Tools which, in turn, provided materials for a loosely structured score. The video for Run On Sentence was created from processed images of signs and billboards and assembled in Adobe Premiere. In this performance, the double bass player was centered in front of the video projection. Through the use of an envelope follower, the amplitude of the double bass controls a spot light which allows the player to control the intensity of the projected images.
