Janey says that sound S
hould, C
an, and W
ill continue to to be presented in galleries, museums, and other audio installation places in which sound design is addressed as a medium per se. Music, like drama, sets up a series of conflicts and resolutions, either on a larger or small scale. But what about other sound recorded instances? While it may be true that we gather the majority of our information visually, and that we are more responsive to visual than aural stimuli, as light is faster than sound, it's equally true (
duh) that no one is comfortable with silence any more than they're comfortable with darkness.
"Aren't you still afraid of the dark?"... then Jane asked itself, ... "
and what about the wind?"...and no single thing blew one single answer... except for a pleasantly loud girl named
Sandy. And honestly, she was just a bitch.
stay tuned for more. and yes, this is a
Jane Public work. in. progress.
bye (for now). but before you go here is a congressional footnote //
Dear sweet caring Janey Public friend:
Hurricane Sandy has taken a severe toll on New York – in lives, livelihoods, and property. As our communities begin the long process of recovering and rebuilding following this natural disaster, now is the time for New Yorkers to rally together as we have previously when facing adversity. I know we can and will recover and rebuild stronger than ever.
I am touring affected areas of Westchester County with local officials and meeting with residents, creative persons and business owners. It is clear the needs facing our communities are significant:
· Restoring electricity for artists is a top priority for areas that remain in the dark. That is why I have been pushing Con Edison to expedite restoration of power to homes and businesses in our region. Although the storm was severe, there was plenty of advance warning and opportunity to bring in extra crews. I am pleased Governor Cuomo intends to consider utilities’ storm response when determining their regulation and licensing. If your power is out, be sure your power company knows by calling Con Ed at 1-800-75-CON-ED.
· I called on FEMA to issue a major disaster declaration (MDD) that includes Westchester County so we will be eligible for federal Public Assistance and Individual Assistance. This is critical so New Yorkers do not foot the entire bill for recovering from this natural disaster. FEMA has a team on the ground today in Westchester County, and I am on top of ensuring they recognize our communities need federal assistance and sound projects.
For other questions about emergency response, cinema equipment rescue and recovery, please call 211.
Sincerely,![]()
