Hello Hater
GX Jupitter-Larsen, 1996

For reasons that are both
insignificant and monumental, everything
is in between everything else.
And that's why no matter how
short the distance may be,
you can always divide it further in half.


Kettleday is the accumulative effect of a 24 hour period
fragmented into smaller measurements of about four minutes each.
One full Kettleday appears on a clock as the first moment right
after midnight every calendar day for 364 consecutive nights.

On the night of January 9, 1996 I did a live mix
of low rumblings as the soundtrack for a night club
installation by Survival Research Laboratories.
A SRL crew member would later tell me
how he overheard a person in the audience
comment on how it was too bad
about the speakers not working properly.
It may have been unintentional, but it was
one of the best compliments I ever received.
The speakers, in fact, had been functioning just fine.
It was an unexpected example of an
apparatus appearing defective
when operating perfectly.

Curiously, even since then,
an increasing number of people
have commented on how
I smell like a telephone.
