THE GORY DETAILS PROJECT represents an attempt to capture on audio a scandalously unscientific survey of first-person medical emergency narratives -- stories describing your broken bones, burns, cuts, poisonings, or any other accounts of personal medical traumas you'd care to share. The recordings will be streamed and archived and (in some cases) incorporated into live performances, music, and video.

Sundays in April:
AMBULANCE RECORDINGS
Beginning in April, trauma narratives from interested passersby will also be recorded inside the Art of Bleeding ambulance. April sessions will take place in the Los Feliz neighborhood on Sundays (12-4pm) along Vermont Avenue between Sunset and Franklin. Previously recorded stories will be available for public listening, and members of the Art of Bleeding "nursing" staff will be on hand to answer questions. On Easter Sunday (4/16) special "Safety treats" will be handed out by Art of Bleeding's beloved mascot, Abram the Safety Ape. Please check our website for continued spring and summer scheduling.

HOW RECORDINGS WILL BE USED
Every day a different "Pain of Day" clip will be streamed. Old clips will also be available in an online archive. Interactively ranking of clips by website visitors may be enabled, and radio/podcasting options are also being investigated. Additional uses may include recordings used as soundtracks to Art of Bleeding puppet shows, slideshows, videos, animations, musical compositions, or sound installations.
GUIDELINES FOR RECORDINGS
Stories must recount your own true experiences. Major injuries, colorful minor injuries or any emergency-room-worthy illness are all suitable. Stories should be under a couple of minutes. Longer recordings and mistakes may be edited. Please don't scrimp on details: the exact sound you heard when that ligament tore, the scent you smelled when your hair caught fire, etc. There is no limit on the number of stories we will accept from an individual, and we look forward to receiving multiple stories from the more accident-prone among you.

ANONYMITY
Storytellers can identify themselves either by their real name, first name and last initial, or a pseudonym, but we do need some sort of name for cataloging purposes. If you choose to leave an email contact, we will let you know in advance when your clip will be featured online. You may, if you choose, also provide a link you would like posted along with your recording when it goes online.
