Abstract

An audio-visual collage, exploring the beauty of the everyday, and the fun of dubbing.

Version 1 was a game played remotely. All the materials for the collage were sourced individually and independently by each player, instead of from a collective rehearsal or performance. It was also a two-part challenge, in which all sound associated with the image was made retrospectively. Each ensemble member produced a silent film that documents a plainly mundane event. The films were then exchanged amongst the group, before everyone captured and superimposed a reimagined sonic appearance on top of the footage received.

Version 2 is complete with a similar approach. Part 1 (making silent videos) remains the same, whereas the assembled collage will remain silent until the final live performance, where all players gather together and dub their assigned parts in real time.
