The 10 Second Rule is a sonic diary. Everyday, for 10 years, I recorded ambient sounds from my natural life. Daily, I would edit, mix, and layer the sounds into 10 second vignettes. It was a discipline, as well as an artistic expression. My whole life during that time is represented in The 10 Second Rule. It is an aural tapestry, an auditory mosaic . It is a decade of my life in sound.
