A Storied Sea
Oct 13, 2009
Description:
A Storied Sea is an audio-literary work by writer and researcher Caleb Johnston developed as part of Intersections. Composer James Maxwell layered recordings of Johnston's grandfather telling stories from his youth as a squatter on Vancouver's waterfront with trombone lines performed by Jeremy Berkman. The audio was set to a time-lapse video of Jericho Beach’s shoreline recorded on October 13, 2009.Intersections was an artistic inquiry into social and economic convergences, geographic landmarks, and reminiscences about current and historical thoroughfares.
