Performance On-site June 3rd:
Deletion 1
Desertion 2015 is the representation of a back and forth struggle between an unstoppable need to create, to add to a personal sonic environment or an aesthetic idea, and a struggle against failure and banality, or the temptation to succumb to insecurity. The piece uses aspects of livecoding and algorithmic composition to scrape over a database of home instrumental recordings to categorize, combine and erase personal incantations, and then to subject the recordings to a process of digital destruction and decay. The source recordings, made with synthesizer, guitar, percussion and voice, were recorded at home over a period of about 8 years. The development over the course of Desertion 2015 will lead all musical attempts to a final authoritative nothingness.
