Art Idea: books on tape parade

get a public domain work (text)

have people from everywhere and anywhere read a single line

record it

send it to me

amass all those voices into a single giant book on tape recording

post online for any and everyone to hear

better yet

get a grant to have some codey write up software that lets people
do it over the internet

each line has a record button next to it

the line gets cleaned up and is instantly added to the mix

site collects people’s info and when the whole book is done they are
contacted on how to listen to it

a person can record as many lines as they want to

Pol Rosenthal has been working in Seattle's theater and music scenes for over 20 years. He used to publish a cultural arts journal then moved to Seattle to be in a rock band, TCHKUNG. This lead to him working with DK Pan's senses altering Butoh company, the P.A.N. In the late 90s he worked for sonic conspiracy company Muzak and while walking out the door helped found radical street art/action group the Infernal Noise Brigade. There he befriended and became a member of multi-disciplinary effort The Degenerate Art Ensemble. Eventually, he moved in next door to Seattle theater company Implied Violence (now St. Genet) and has enjoyed a multi-year, unhealthy relationship to their demanding work and philosophies. Last year he was in Curtis Taylor's 'The White Days' as an "actor". Presently he's wrapped up dancing in Paige Barnes' modern dance piece 'Lead Bunny' (Oct 2012) and is working on Dayna Hanson's rock musical 'Gloria's Cause'. In October he collaborated with Real Change editor Rosette Royale on a wonderful installation, 'JungleBox', for City Arts Fest.
