Regina Martinez (Selective Listening) Regina Martinez experiences sound as records of our connections and departures. Her experiments draw from an archive of infinitely personal recordings she relates to as soundmarks: her family’s hands cleaning dried beans, the flap of our clothes outside on the line, the creak of the front gate to home. Each moment becomes its own instrument, its own layer of composition, and a washing and wringing out of memory meant to be overheard like a poem again and again. Often under the alias selective listening, her work evolves through vinyl dj sets, audiovisual collage and sound design for film and movement. She currently produces the show alluvia’s fluid for Chicago Public Media Institute’s Lumpen Radio.
