Orange you glad

"My piece is based on the old Knock Knock joke punchline, “Orange you glad I didn’t say banana,” and  the childhood habit of repeating words at nauseum. 

"As I listened to the recording I was drawn to the muffled sounds, of conversations and objects just out of reach and to the inadvertent memories that orange trees conjure in my own mind, of a childhood climbing them and being stuck by the thorns."

Piece by Sarah Knudtson as part of The Orange Garden project by Cities and Memory, in which multiple artists create a new composition using the same original field recording as source material and inspiration - see the whole project at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/orangegarden
