A Confinement Rhapsody

2021

In these days of confinement, isolation and lock down, we need the presence of each other.
We crave the presence of sound, the outside world and we are longing for communication.
In this performance, we are invited to cherish our skills and use our creativity in order to compose our very own Confinement Rhapsody.
This interactive performance started during the first months of the Pandemic as a Zoom concert.
I operated online from my living room using an antiquarian sampling and remixing technique sourced by movement, radio, old records and cassettes, as well as bells, chimes, paper, maracas… where up to 9 participants selected at random helped to compose a Confinement Rhapsody!
Presented in 2020 online at PerformIstanbul, Turkey and Studio 303, Montreal and live as part of No Hay Banda at the Salla Rosa in Montreal in 2021.
