Episode 6: Glenn Weyant
This episode features a conversation with Tucson-based sound artist, Glenn Weyant. I first learned of Glenn's work when I discovered The Anta Project, a series of recordings he made by playing the border walls, fences, and assorted ephemera along the U.S./Mexico border. Glenn also talks about building instruments and his explorations at the intersection of journalism and sound art.
You can find extensive documentation of Glenn's work on his website (http://sonicanta.com) and http://sonicanta.bandcamp.com.
