Earlier on in the summer I went down to the Asian food store in my neighborhood. I've gone in there before hunting media, and never found anything more than some overpriced traditional Chinese music CD's, as well as a little of the bland pop you sometimes get in Asian food stores. Go figure, they're a store not a music retailer. But one day I went in and saw in the give-away pile they keep by the front door, which usually has copies of the Portland Chinese Times and copies of previous years' calendars, a box of discs. I looked at them and saw they were in Vietnamese, some were music, some were videos, and they looked Buddhist. So I picked up a handful to take home and investigate, leaving some behind in case someone else would be delighted to find them. To my mild surprise, no one did, so I picked up the rest a few weeks later. This is the lot of them, with some particular ones highlighted in pics of their own.
What I plan to do with these is not yet clear. What I'd like to do is rip the video from some of the discs, and do a collage of the audio and video with some glitch treatments. I'll have to talk to some people i know about the best software to do it. In the meantime, i I can find some interesting audio on the MP3 discs, I'll do a sort of mix or collage with what I can extract!
