Title: Greater Than Less Than
Category: Video
Year: 2003

Synopsis: This piece is 1 of 6 created for "Lost As Heat", an interactive DVD-Video disc. It's a meditation on power and powerlessness using the imagery of police, homeless people and rats as subjects. On the DVD version of this piece, these three subjects are actually three "angles" which are switchable by the viewer.

Production Notes:
The soundtrack is composed of typical field-recorded New York street sounds, as well as a steam pipe I found in the back of a building, which provides the low droning tone in the piece. As the sound builds into a slow, gradual crescendo, I use the sound of a tea kettle on a stove. The sound for this piece (and the others on the DVD) is mixed in surround.
