This sound art piece, For Dad: Farm Days, is a soundscape that depicts my dad's earliest sound experience. For him, he remembers helping his parents on the farm in Indiana and hearing rain on the tin roof of his family's barn and the nostalgia that this memory fills him with. My dad has always been very connected with sound as he lost some of his hearing abilities after being in the Marines in his twenties. Now as an 80 year old father of 4, it was inspiring to be able to make modern sound technology accessible to him and to further the importance of these memories in the creation of his goofy, emotive and giving legacy. Below is the recorded interview with my dad that inspired this piece.
