Elevator Music
2006
Sound installation
the:artist:networknewyork, New York
 
4-channel sound installation 'Elevator Music' is staged in an elevator of an old warehouse building occupied by Chinese sweatshops, showrooms, imitation designer product patrons and two galleries. As the elevator travels through the shaft, sounds appropriated from various subway buskers drifts in and out of earshot. The juxtaposition of the buskers' soundtrack composes an orchestration of Muzak for the everyday passengers of the building elevator.
