Cosmic Homeostasis // broken telephone / christie's transmission // Vacancy Recs. 069 / 2023

A : B r o k e n T e l e p h o n e

The ‘Broken Telephone’ project was proposed in 2020 by Cosmic Homeostasis group member Mira Martin-Gray early in lockdown days as a way to stay engaged and connected. The recording proceeded as an additive process, similar to when artists were trading cassettes or works circulated in the mail art network. In effect it was an assemblage or collage built layer upon layer as the recording passed from one person to the next. This was an experiment for the group since all previous recordings had been done in person. Rather than a game of ‘cumulative error’, the transmission chain transcended space and time.

Musicians: Heraclitus Akimbo, Scott M2, Dame Cook, Paul Newman, Victor O, abigail trotsky, Rob Cruickshank, Ronnie Blake, Marilyn Y, Del Stephen, iderdown, Phil Hamilton, Mike Lynn, Mira Martin-Gray, Patrick O'Reilly, Fahmid Nibesh

B : C h r i s t i e ’ s T r a n s m i s s i o n

2021 saw a tentative return to in-person gatherings, well-spread out under the lovely tree canopy in the "upper" Christie Pits. Two park performances occurred, with gentle sounds being made amidst the backdrop of passing cars, sympathetic cicadas, and a rambunctious Maple Leafs baseball game. Field recordings from these performances were passed along to Jeffrey Sinibaldi, who distilled them into this beautiful half-hour audio collage.

Musicians: Ron Blake, Rob Cruickshank, Heraclitus Akimbo,
Michael Kaler, JP King, Michael Lynn, Mira Martin-Gray, Scott M2, Paul Newman, Patrick O'Reilly, Victor O, Sarah Peebles, styrofoamNosebleedPrincess, Nilan Perera, Del Stephen,
