Christopher DeLaurenti
To the Cooling Tower, Satsop

In this, the 2nd release of the Improvisational Architecture series, To the Cooling Tower, Satsop by Christopher DeLaurenti is very different than the 1st, Jocelyn Robert’s Cycloïdes. At base a field recording, To the Cooling Tower… conveys an aural phenomena that one typically experiences on a personal level. The journey through the tunnel is eerie, curious and mesmerizing. DeLaurenti’s interactions structure this phonography as a composition of place.

The release is a physical edition of audio combined with the tactile. The cover is a letter press replication of a ball point pen drawing by artist Robert Lansden. The full size original work instills a sense of vertigo. When translated in letterpress the effect is transferred to the fingertips and synthesized differently.

A compact disc release in a 5” X 7” sleeve with 4 panels and liner notes by DeLaurenti. Printed on letterpress by Middlepress Brooklyn, NY.

An aural and tactile experience in a limited edition of 250.
