Program Notes:

"Sometimes I get the feeling that I won’t be on this planet for very long I really like it here, I’m quite attached to it, I hope I’m wrong”


Pop songs that I hated as a kid. Concert banter from my favorite band. An episode of TRL. Television commercials. Ephemera. Refuse. Individually these moments are a way of passing the time. Collectively they reflect back the life we lived.

 
Performance Notes: 

This work requires 2 microphones and an audio interface with at least 3 outputs. (Stereo playback and click track). It can be performed without the video, but with video is the preferred presentation. Live processing is done with Ableton Live (Version 10).
