Each year, approximately five-hundred billion plastic cups are used, of which roughly six billion cups end up in landfills every year. …grind… utilizes a single sound source: a one-second sound file of a plastic Keurig coffee pod hitting the floor. The sound is then morphed into more destructive sound forces, symbolic of the faulty business and political ideologies that ultimately contribute to a lack of environmental sustainability. The vast majority of this work was created with Richard Garrett’s “Audio Spray Gun.”
