For roughly twenty years SonicAnta, the exploration of sonic boundaries by Glenn Weyant, has been underway in a variety of names, guises and formats.
www.sonicanta.com provides a vehicle for presenting those explorations, as they occur, beginning with the 2006 release of The Anta Project.
The Anta Project is a series of recordings made in 2006, that were blended in a multi-track laptop environment to create a single sonic collage of the U.S./Mexico border near Nogales, Arizona.
The instruments chosen for this project were objects with political and metaphorical symbolism found during my desert journey.
By turning the three-mile long Nogales steel wall that separates the U.S. from Mexico into a sprawling electro-acoustic instrument, my goal was to deconstruct its purpose and sonically prod the listener into a line of inquiry:
What is it I am hearing?
Why do these things exist?
Who is kept in and who is kept out?
Instead of being an implement of division, the wall becomes an instrument of creation with the power to unite.
