HIDE PLAYLIST
On the morning of November 30 1999, armed with a portable DAT (digital audio tape) deck and two microphones, I ventured into the streets of Seattle to record the heady and harrowing protest against the World Trade Organization. Spattered by pepper spray, enshrouded in tear gas and pelted with rubber bullets, I was engulfed in maelstrom of drums, slogans, chants, screaming and violence. Immersing the listener in the polyphony of the protest, N30 is an aggressively edited orthophonic “you are there” recording. Propelled by the audible drama of the unfolding protest, N30 has no narration, objective reportage or interviews. Recorded on the front lines, the vibrant and violent pageant of sound speaks and sings for itself.
