Derek Bacon is an artist who releases concrete, computer and chamber music. I really enjoyed To the planetarium, it uses repeating concrete sounds of the human voice in a hypnotic way at the start. The excerpt of the planetarium shown uses voices that reminded me of my own childhood. I remember sitting with the older members of my family and listening to them speak about lineage and when they were young, Derek included his grandma’s aunt’s voice in this piece. Derek had these recordings handed down to him when his grandfather passed away. I think the idea of handing down audio recordings is very important for culture, hearing previous generations speak about family history and events is important as it helps to understand your own culture as well as gathering an idea of who your ancestors really were from the way they speak.
