6th Floor Enthusiast - Emil Margolis

audio (10.5 min.)

Rather than “tune out” the constant “practice noise” coming from the practice rooms in 8 the Fenway, what would happen if you really “tuned in”? Would it become “practice music”? Or would “tuning in” just bore you to tears? Listening to 6^th Floor Enthusiast allows the listener to perhaps answer some of these questions The five movements (played uninterrupted) of 6th Floor Enthusiast each represent a moment in time on the 6^th floor of 8 the Fenway, and all the sounds in 6^th Floor Enthusiast are created from field recordings made in that location. The piece is in five parts:

I. 8 o’clock AM

II. 12 o’clock PM

III. 4 o’clock PM

IV. 8 o’clock PM

V. 32 o’clock
