Title: Cat owners! I need your cat purrs, can you help?
Post by: the_i_need_purrs_lady on October 22, 2008, 10:26:13 AM
Dear cat owners,
                       I'm an art student on a mission, a mission to record/collect recordings of 100 cats purrs. So far I've just foccused my efforts in my home town Edinburgh, but now I'm going national....even multinational (I've just received a purr from colorado). And so I'm appealing to you to help me, in any way you can.  I'm looking for people that would be able to record their cat purr on a mobile phone, camera, digital recording device...anything, and then send it to me at my email address which is balthazarproductions@gmail.com. If you could attach photos, information about said cat or any stories as well it's all very much appreciated....yesterday I received my first cat poem! So if you think you'd like to help please get in touch, I'll be posting pictures of the finished piece here around next friday
Kind regards
Alice, Edinburgh

Sounds fun - I will attempt a recording later on.

Are you going to use it as a meditation tape?  ;) I would!!

Kind of, the finished thing is going to be a sound installation, that makes the viewer (listener) feel more relaxed and comforted. It'll be housed inside something that evokes memories of childhood...either a den like a child might build (but a lot larger) or a tiny house (the size of a shed) that looks like a house a child might draw. Cats purrs always remind me of when I was younger as I grew up with 4 cats, so it's about childhood, comfort and safety.
(i hate writing about my 'work', always sounds so pretentious :)
look forward to hearing from you
regards
Alice
