Soundperformance, 32’ For a performer, live-electronics and 4-channel tape Performed at Den Frie (2024), Unsafe+Sounds (2024)
Point of Passage (Terminal) (2024) presents a speculative scenario in which different voices make an appearance. These voices have been recorded, manipulated, scattered, synthesised and dispersed, brought together from different places and different times, connected and torn apart. The performer manipulates the electronic sound with her own voice, yet her voice is not audible to the audience. She subtly imposes control onto the sound, searching for her relationship with it, tracing connections and memories. The voices heard here all have different levels of connection and degrees of proximity to her: her mother, a teacher, an old recording of an ageing castrato, anonymous crowds, a priest, people walking by in the street. In examining her relationship with all these voices and with the types of power and influence they exert upon her, she seeks to escape their immanent structures, creating glitches and short circuits between experience and memory, reality and fiction.
