Showcase
Look What They've Done to My Song
Synopsis
Through the subsequent editing process the material was subjected to radical temporal shifts in the form of loops, overlays, speeding up, slowing down and repetition, creating rhythms, counterpoints and silences, all exploring the construction of song and narrative expectation forming a drama (or crisis) of performance.
The songs themselves are literally at stake, their survival questioned through these processes of translation.
