Andrew Duke--Eleven 
This is a recording prompted by the continued
loss of lives internationally at the hands of 
violence, most recently the 190 who died in
Madrid on March 11, 2004.  Created solely 
from text-to-sound conversions of "Madrid", 
"cercanías", "March 11, 2004", and a jpeg of 
one of the bombed cercanías.  Exactly 11 seconds
in duration:  ten seconds of sound followed
by 1 second of no sound (which was created
by compressing the ten seconds to one and
then silencing the result).  Though I have 
created songs in the past with these methods,
the result here is quite different and intentionally 
my harshest piece to date; if it sounds akin
to a careening ambulance in a time of distress,
there is, unfortunately, no coincidence.  Take care.
