Another Routine Day Breaks
In the winter of 1957 my grandfather purchased a 16mm camera shot intermittent footage over the next few years (roughly 1957 to 1959). The events range from fascinating to sublime, from backyard Americana barbecues to racy party footage.
Below is my homage to an era, set to Brokeback’s “Another Routine Day Breaks.” Released on Field Recordings From The Cook County Water Table (1999, Thrill Jockey) and used with permission.
