  • Post-Apocalyptic Biscuit, jawbreaker, sea biscuit or Hardtack as it was commonly known. This biscuit, made of three ingredients was rationed out to soldiers in the American Civil War as well as other soldiers and sailors in various Countries throughout history. It will last a very long time, at least 20 years. This was what there was left to eat after the apocalypse.

    “Post-Apocalyptic Biscuit” (2020) is for Buchla 200, Electric Music Easel, Voice, and a variety of post-processing digital algorithmic plug-ins. The work is my response to the Strange Times that we are living through; especially the dark political tragedies playing out around the world, along with the horrific pandemic, and the subsequent self-isolation that we must all endure; a cautionary tale. The structure of the work follows this pattern of variants:
