Is There Too Much Noise In Our Lives?

Featuring:

full time freelance photographer and mother Carissa Byers and self-employed commercial photographer/visual artist/organizer of people and things Erica Felicella

In this episode, we discuss noise and excess. In a world where things unnecessarily beep and chime, what are the limits and purposes?

Garbage trucks blaring in reverse.

Instant messaging.

Feedback off of microphones.

We ponder what Erica mentions: the rate of acceleration. Where do we find our simplicity within the complicated world that we have made for ourselves? How do we regulate the obnoxious noises apart from the meaningful sounds?

Recorded in Dallas on February 1st, 2009, as the Super Bowl rages on somewhere far away. Hosted by writer Rick Vanderslice with writer/poet R.J. Jackson.
