Sixteen Hollywood Silence, 2009

A composition for full orchestra that consists of transcriptions of sixteen field recordings made on adjacent street corners in Hollywood, California. I created the transcriptions with an AI app I programmed that uses acoustical analysis to replicate recordings for an orchestra.
Sixteen Hollywood Silence also refers to John Cage’s Five Hanau Silence (1992), a work based on chance-determined, geographically distributed field recordings and dedicated to Metzgerstrasse Nr. 8, a political center and squat located in Hanau, Germany.
