Concept

Explore expressions of memory, forgetting, repressing and the spaces between.

Structure

Composition divided into alternating “narrative” and “rythmic” segments.

Narrative segments are more ambient and experimental with voiceover driving the “story”, leading into instrumental rythmic segments that can be conceptualised as “memories”, each building on a nostalgic element with a more modern and coherent instrumentation.

The structure of the performance is roughly:

  1. Narrative: Fading, loss of self
  2. Rhythm: Melancholic, dark, techno
  3. Narrative: Repression, pain, autopilot
  4. Rhythm: Melancholic, glitched, IDM / half-step
  5. Narrative: Discovery, glimpses of memory
  6. Rhythm: Uplifting / percussive contrast, trance / techno
  7. Narrative: Realization, seeing it clearly
  8. Rhythm: Reflective, excited, downtempo
  9. Freeform (?): Thoughtful, evolving, ambient
  10. Narrative: TODO, something with anger and strength
  11. Rhythm: TODO, something with lots of buildup, energy and emotion
  12. Narrative: Remembering
  13. End of show
