Dailies is a project in which I create a daily news ballad using source material from the media by singing newspaper articles over sounds culled from that morning’s television and radio news broadcasts.  The news itself is transformed into a lullaby of sorts, while ordinary sounds of real radio broadcasts are electronically manipulated and abstracted.  Each day, a new world of source material is made available by the global news media and transformed in to a new Daily by me.  The result is a combination of tape collage with news radio.  Dailies imagines a world in which Pierre Schaeffer and Jim Lehrer could be the new Burt Bacharach and Hal David and I’m their Dionne Warwick.
