Seven Days receives loads of album submissions, but Glenn Weyant s
MOWED MUSIC is the first to feature nothing but a lawn mower. The record consists of a single 30-minute track in which the East Montpelier sound artist s gas-powered Toro mower is the lone instrument. With his mower roughly tuned to B-flat, according to the album cover/liner notes, the resulting recording emphasizes tonalities and harmonics of distance, direction and so on. Also the occasional mowed-over stick. Former music editor Dan Bolles, current music editor Jordan Adams and future music editor Chris Farnsworth had some thoughts about
MOWED MUSIC, presented in the following free-flowing conversation.
