Every day there was some new discovery, just realizing that a certain tape was tied to some moment in David’s life. A lot of it was just trying to find places to put some of our favorite little babies, like some of the answering machine things… where you can hear the relationships that he had with people in the moment—these sweet calls that he would get from his sister or from Peter Hujar…
David also really collected a lot of sound effects. He taped a lot of the things off his TV and radio, and the street, so just being able to appreciate the texture in his tapes helped bring the film to life. Because there’s always some car creaking in the background, or police sirens going on down the street, which feels very alive in New York. — Chris McKim
