Reassembled by Lee Todd Lacks

This project began with two boxes. One box contained printed copies of poems, short stories and monologues that I'd written during the previous 22 years. The other contained cassette tapes of electronic sounds that I’d recorded during the same span of time. One afternoon in December of 2008, while sorting through these boxes, I resolved to share their contents with the greater public. I thought about recording my spoken words, and I thought about archiving my electronic sounds, and then, I decided to compile an album that would simultaneously feature both. In the spirit of mashup, I selected some of my better-received text pieces and paired these with some of my better-conceived audio tracks. Through this process, I’ve sought to reassemble dozens of disparate parts into something more substantially whole.
