LA burned: The 1992 Riots
Damian Quihuis
In this piece, I created a soundscape with Ableton Live and original video footage of the 1992 riots after the acquittal of the LAPD officers who brutally beat Rodney King. This was the first case of police brutality to be caught on camera and used as evidence in a court of law. The soundscape reflects the fires that burned throughout South LA and the voices of people that were enraged by the result of the verdict.
The piece also contains my own captioning feelings of the verdict.
