Eavesdrop: a wealth of found sound is a collection of anonymous recordings found at thrift stores, yard sales, and in trash bins over a four-year period. The unaltered tracks come from audio or micro-cassettes, 8-tracks and home-recorded records. Many of the clips are segments from audio diaries, tape-letters, the sound of road trips, fights, crying, family moments, telephone conversations/messages, or the amusements of children or the mentally disabled.

6-panel Digipak with booklet & scraps.
