Books Not Bombs (excerpt)

Listen

Composed, recorded, and produced by Jesse Pearlman Karlsberg. Additional recording by Joanne Alcantara, Mathieu Hiraku Desan, Simca Lena Horwitz, David Martin, Sarah Norr, and members of Ron Kuivila's Seminar on Recording and Audio Art.

Day-long installation coinciding with the Books Not Bombs National Student Strike against the war in Iraq, March 5, 2003. Initial radio broadcast, March 22, 2003

The Books Not Bombs sound project represents an ongoing initiative to record and instrumentalize sound and video from anti-war events and coverage of the war in Iraq. By organizing recordings of anti-war rallies, teach-ins, and speeches, Books Not Bombs seeks to sustain and reuse powerful anti-war messages. By creating anti-war installations and radio art, and building an archive of anti-war sound the project seeks to enliven anti-war activism and amplify the political power of anti-war sounds.
