Pre-Dawn Artscape/Ghost Town

Erik Spangler

Memories of walking a coonhound in the small hours around the empty structures of Baltimore’s Artscape festival before dawn- silent ferris wheel standing behind the rows of booths, vacant carnival installations on the Charles St Bridge. In this piece I play Spanish guitar, melodica, violin, theremin, turntables, and toy megaphone, augmented by looping and processing through Ableton Live and a Kaoss Pad.
