Missing the point twice (Boulder Mountain)

Part of our Dada Sound project (February 2016) - see more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/dadasounds By Masha Sha.

"According to Hans Richter, Dada represented the opposite of everything which art stood for. Dada was intended to offend. I asked myself how can i rebel against the rules of field recording and do something opposite. One of the biggest no no's in field recording is capturing the sounds of the person who is recording. That person should be breathless and invisible on the soundscape captured. That is why i decided to center my composition entirely on that kind of “wrong" sound. Every ism in art history denies the previous ism in order to manifest new aesthetic and meaning. That is why i thought ascending the mountain would be an appropriate metaphor. The composition is consist only from the recorded sounds of me ascending the mountain. I introduced chance to complete the composition by overlapping two identical tracks with slight delay."
