Notes from Jay Allison
We all first met though the New School where I was teaching at the time. We started gathering once a week to listen to each others' work and critique. And we decided to make a piece together.
We went out to record life all over the city at different times of day, not all on one day, but whenever we had a chance and could get away from our other jobs, which most of us had.
We pooled the tape and shaped a chronicle. It was simply to be an homage to the city, where many of this group still live now, 18 years later.
At the time, I had a four-track Teac and an eight-channel mixer in an old barn in Ulster County where several of us gathered one weekend to mix. I don't remember what the weather was like, but it seems like it must have been lovely.
