Loren Chasse - otic diary A meditation on close sounds and the intimacy of noise.
Notes	Steve Roden is a visual and sound artist from Los Angeles who has been exhibiting since 1986. In his sound works, objects, architectural spaces, and field recordings are abstracted through electronics to create audio new spaces, or 'possible landscapes'. The sound works present themselves with an aesthetic Roden describes as "lower case' - sound concerned with subtlety and the quiet activity of listening. Loren Chasse lives in San Francisco where he leads creative listening workshops for after-school programs. He also records and performs both as a solo artist and with the groups idBattery and Thuja. Chasse also currently serves as Director of Education for the nonprofit sound arts organization 23five Incorporated. Chasse’s approach toward sound is to activate areas of a landscape and the objects in them as instruments. "We suspend our own ‘noise’ when confronted with a wondrous sound. Subsequently, we might begin listening to ourselves in a new way, realizing how we might become part of this wondrous thing."
