Santa Cruz Island Justin Messina Here you can find some excerpts from the hundreds of hours of sound I recorded at California's Channel Islands over a four month period between June and September of 2014. The recordings were cataloged and processed into a ten channel installation while I was artist in residence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology in Oregon. The end result is an immersive and exploratory experience that investigates ideas of memory, place, and history through field recordings, interviews,* and music.
