Although the piece has been exhibited several times, I\u2019d really like for more people to listen to the audio montage, particularly since we\u2019re in a presidential election year.  So much of the current rhetoric is drawn almost verbatim from our past.  For example a famous speech known as \u201cRivers of Blood\u201d (1968) by the conservative British Parliament member Enoch Powell strongly reflects some of the things that Donald Trump has said regarding immigration.  The 1968 speech is a call to shutting down the British borders largely due to bigotry.<\/p>\n<p>In the desire for more people to listen to the audio montage, I\u2019ve created a video featuring the audio montage.  Perhaps if people give it a few seconds they will be intrigued by the voices of Calvin Coolidge, George Wallace, Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., Barry Goldwater\u2026 enough to play the entire 17 minute and 30 second video.  It begins with quick snippets, but as the piece proceeds longer excerpts compliment one another, ideally to create a nice flow.<\/p>\n<p>The montage only includes 12 men, however, they are amongst the most prominent in U.S. history (with exception of one Brit &#8211; Powell).  At over 17 minutes the piece is already longer than most people will listen, many more diverse voices could easily be referenced, but I tried to keep it short.  The 12 voices included are:<br \/>\nCalvin Cooldige, George Wallace, Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., Barry Goldwater, Barack Obama, Enoch Powell, Malcolm X, Douglas MacCarthur, Noam Chomsky, William F Buckley Jr., Dwight D. Eisenhower<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently revisited a project from 2008 &#8211; On Transmitting Ideology, that is partly an audio montage of historically famous speeches that I feel have helped define the current conservative and liberal ideologies so prominent in the United States political and cultural arenas.
