A Few Words from Mr. Huth

I'm going to try and write some audio scripts that I can record and take into the studio with me. This will give me a chance to see how they sound in a space, to work physically from them and to get some feedback from Lou.

Geof Huth, the writer of One Million Footnotes (the inspiration for Finish This) has kindly answered some of my questions. He raises the point that to emulate blogging I could have "Different audio or video clips looped in the same physical location over a period of days." I have considered that, if I just produce an audio recording, then I could have it looped in a space and produce a durational performance that the audience are free to join and leave as they wish. This would also be a nod to another of Geof's points,

"Movement and change are what is necessary on the web. Any site that is no longer updated becomes a cobwebsite and visits to it decline precipitously. Your blog now lies fallow."

A recording is the capture of a passed moment. Like watching re-runs of the news, the words would not be of the now. The tape would be an obsolete voice from the past trying to communicate with it's present-time listener. Maybe there would be a resonance between the history recounted and the current situation, maybe that resonance could be engineered?

I just worry that I might not be able to hold the interest of the audience through sound alone.
