about

18 selections from Porch Swing Orchestra's Second Year (March 2018-March 2019) compresses a year into a half-hour odyssey of bird song, sea-planes, crunchy cookies, frozen palmettos, and cicada serenades.

The Porch Swing Orchestra is a Barry Stone art project that explores the interplay between site-specific images, musical improvisation, chance operation, and field recordings. Pictures taken on-site accompany fleeting melodies recorded among conversations of passersby, the rattle of air conditioners, birdsong, sirens of cicadas, and all matter of environmental sonic phenomena. Most recordings take place on my front porch in Austin, Texas, but PSO has traveled to Spiral Jetty in Utah, the border town of Del Rio, Texas, the coast of Maine, the San Juan Islands, and other far-flung places. Since 2018, PSO has collaborated with dozens of musicians, artists, poets, writers, and activists to publish over 200 pieces.
