There Goes Swifty

There Goes Swifty is an audio tape piece that was constructed from sounds recorded at a greyhound track. While the sounds of the event were what initially drew me to it as potential material, the levels of perceptual and informational manipulation surrounding the races were what held my interest and informed the development of the piece. As a result, There Goes Swifty is more a study of temporal perception that uses these sounds as a tableau rather than a concerted portrait of the event itself.
