The Breadwinner

by Graham Lambkin / Jason Lescalleet

The Breadwinner cover art

Captured in Lambkin's Poughkeepsie home, this masterful electroacoustic collaboration utilizes intensely intimate, domestic field recordings. The artists manipulate the sounds of squeaking chairs, breathing, and shifting tape loops to create a profoundly surreal, claustrophobic atmosphere. It is widely regarded as a modern landmark of American avant-garde and musique concrète.
