San Francisco is full of eccentric individuals, but I've always wondered if they migrate to the Bar Area or if they're homegrown. Now I have one more data point to help me unravel this enigma and his name is Jeremy Dalmas. This Berkeley-born experimental artist, living next to Golden Gate Park, has been inspired by his surroundings to create an ambient audio adventure helping people explore the park from his perspective.
He ignores many of the standard landmarks and opts to focus your attention on some of the overlooked mysteries in the park. He backs his soft-spoken narration with Renaissance vocals, bells, keyboard chords and tribal drum samples that gradually shift the tone at each point of interest. His “if you consider…” audio tour takes about 80 minutes and guides you from the northeast corner of the park (Fulton & Stanyan) to the public handball courts behind the baseball fields on 7th Avenue.
Some highlights from the audio adventure include the feral cat colonies, Golden Age horseshoe pits, rocks from a Spanish monastery, Chicken Hill and the invisible tree. He also points out some of the edible plants you can use to make a Golden Gate Park salad. In between the sights, he infuses his audio tour with random poetic asides that recall the French artistic movements of Surrealism and Absurdism. He offers this experience for a mere $5 contribution to download the MP3 online: http://www.theabsurdists.com/ifyouconsider.html.
He has a genuine interest in sharing this audio tour with everyone and making Golden Gate Park into his own art installation piece. So if you want to experience the park from a unique and quirky perspective, check out this guided audio tour and lose yourself for a few hours in the Jeremy Dalmas wonderland.
