Quotidian Record

Client: Brian House
Type: Identity
Year: 2014

From the artist Brian House: Quotidian Record is a limited edition LP that features a continuous year of my location-tracking data. Each place I visited, from home to work, from a friend’s apartment to a foreign city, is mapped to a harmonic relationship. 1 day is 1 rotation … 365 days is ~11 minutes. As the record turns, the markings on the platter indicate the rotational cycle through 24 hours and the key changes that occur when I travel to cities in which I do not live. The sound suggests that our habitual patterns have inherent musical qualities, and that daily rhythms might form an emergent portrait of an individual.
