After reading Charles Hardy III’s essay, “Painting in Sound: Aural History and Audio Art,” and listening to the four audio pieces assigned for this week, write a critical reflection considering the particularities (aesthetic, material, ethical, etc.) of sound/voice/audio in archival appropriation, drawing on whatever additional course texts you find productive.

For next week, you will produce a “mini project” working with appropriation of archival audio (originally the plan for this week!) Please come to class prepared with a found/archival audio clip (or more!) that you would like to work with and we will have time to experiment in class.
