The Inspector Inspects…

2020-08-12 by GedeonCom Leave a Comment

It is a very sweltering day here in Twillingate, I am almost afraid my computer will shudder and have a stroke. But its hanging in despite editing more video and playing sessions.

This piece is much more driven by the synthesizer than normal, it actually started with playing around until I found a sound I liked and then processed to “bend” it. Still has that step sequence feel but I found ways to divert attention from that a bit.


I have quite frankly lost track of which photographs I have posted and which I have not. It will take me a couple of days to sift through the pile of material to lift out ideas suitable for posting.


However, I did take a few shots of a disaffected building on New World Island (imagine living in a place called New World Island!). I was drawn to it because of the flesh like tone of the the exterior paint. It was not unlike seeing a shaved carcass of a pig after slaughter. Forgive the language, but it makes me recall being a child watching my father and a neighbour slaughter ours. It was beautiful and horrifying at the same time.

You can pretty well pay with anything, problem is finding something to buy.
This is what our skin ends up looking like after too many days roasting on the beach.

More Burrell and a couple more things.

Just exploring and continuing to return to some places that I felt some kind of attraction to is something that I have realized is part of my process. If I look at my many years doing this, either by photography or now sound, the bulk of my observation seems to happen within a 5 km range of where I live.

Part of it is probably that this is the only way we can access minutia with unyoking of attentiveness. How we can see the big in the small.

Two different coves, one same angle of approach. Different results, sometimes doing the same thing over and over yields results.

The root cellars (potato barns in New Brunswick) here are quite spectacular, I have seen several on Newfoundland and a few there. But I have not seen very many that make quite as bold a statement in their landscape as these.

Two doored potato barn.
The opposite of camouflaged. Not to mention a long way to get a turnip.

Another day… Another noise…Another visual stimulus.

Didn’t post last night, needed to rest a bit and watched the last episode of “American Gods”. There are aspects of it that I really engaged with.

Between that, and now I have obviously worked on my sound files, collected more video footage and would like to offer another instalment of “work in progress”. Mind you, for me, work is always in progress since it never ceases to evolve.

Newworld
Intermediate State… what is that space?

Durrell – 49.66° N, 54.74° W

Close enough to Twillingate to be part of Twillingate, but it is it’s own place. Like most other places agglomerated to form larger entities to support services to the population, they maintain a sense of pride in their own community as its own entity.

I had an illuminating experience at the Durrell museum learning of the Arm Lads Brigade, my upbringing in New Brunswick did not expose me to these stories and I find them to be completely engaging. The idea of creating cultures of discipline and service have always been fascinating because of the way they articulate the social contract. I speak neither for or against, it is simply an observation.
