This work in progress relates to a larger piece dealing with language. A play in language. Interviews have taken place regarding a common theme: art - its meaning and capability in bringing about a social revolution. The word interview should probably be replaced by the word "discussion". For the conversations at times would end up at completely unrelated directions. Unrelated yet linked back to the original theme (assuming linearity in reverse). Questions were asked in English or Greek. The answers were given in a variety of languages including German, Swedish, Greek, Bulgarian, Hungarian etc. For the languages not understood, the rule was not to be given a translation or explanation. The audio has been split up randomly, either between words or halfway through sentences. Equally random will be the mixing of all fragmentary words, now only sounds. Meaning is removed, the words are now stripped bare and, in relation to one another, sound like gibberish, incomprehensible. Music will be composed according to the melody and harmony of the voices. After the final piece is finished, which will have a duration long enough for no one viewer to bare listen in its entirety, drawings will be made while listening to it. During this process, IBVA will be used to record the brainwave activity and trigger midi sounds. A strange loop is created. The audio piece is affecting the brain and drawings. The sound from the IBVA, that is essentially brainwave activity transformed into sound, affects the drawings. The drawings affect brainwave activity. The recorded IBVA sounds will then be incorporated into the final music piece. The drawings will perhaps work as the visual representation. Confusing? It should be. Meaningless? Overdone? Antagonising? perhaps.
