Robert Rauschenberg Steps Into the Nuclear-Powered Elevator (2002)

[mp3, score]

Another bosch piece, this was made by selecting color ranges from digital photos and pasting them into a new blank score. I was looking for man-made patterns; Darrin Drda's polka-dotted cartoon man painted on the side of a bookcase, skyscraper windows, a page of Stravinsky, the marquee at Grand Lake cinema in Oakland. In my dream last night, I learned at a station meeting to my dismay that the elevators were nuclear powered. I think I dream of elevators because I long to travel vertically, and ironically I work and sleep in an area smaller than a typical passenger elevator. - M. Cepstral
