the nervy, uncertain excitement of the future....

About Me

Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis and the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts collaborated on the symposium "Unsettled Ground: Nature, Landscape, and Ecology Now." As part of "Unsettled Ground," Matthew Coolidge, founder and director of the Center for Land Use Interpretation , presented "Looking for St. Louis ," October 26-29, 2005, which took a group of students to various sites in St. Louis with the goal of describing and documenting St. Louis through images, texts, diagrams, and materials that resulted in a temporary exhibition on the city.
The music on this page is a live improvisation by Tony Renner, electric guitar, from the "Looking for St. Louis" exhibition on Saturday, October 29, 2005, at the E. Desmond Lee Gallery.

Sounds Like: PLEASE NOTE:
"Resettled Ground 1" is a collaboration -- more of a mash-up really -- between Matt Milton, extended technique violin , and Tony Renner, electric guitar.
With "Resettled Ground 2," I took the "Unsettled Ground" performance and broke it up into 4 equal sections and then layered them. Each track was treated with a different effect.
"Resettled Ground 3" is Poison Rat R. remixing "Unsettled Ground 2."
If you would like to remix "Unsettled Ground," please contact me and I will send you an unedited file.
