Artifacts of the misinterpretation of the historic American West. Here, audio fragments from westerns of the 1960s and early 1970s were processed and arranged during the late 1990s, using rapidly failing studio equipment. Like the imagined 19th century frontier, the materials in these tracks are faded, worn, and coarse. A noisy, dust-coated, and very analog cinema.
UPDATE: Material from 1874 from 1968 was recently used in the documentary Beneath the Three Graces: Archaeology in the Shadow of Abraham Lincoln.
