Requiem in Progress

2024-Current

Initiated by two artists who have experienced the significant loss of loved ones, this project has evolved into a collaborative expression of grief and a reflection on contemporary society. It contemplates the ongoing tragedies that unfold, one after another, with this multimedia performance serving as a poignant memorial to events and lost lives. With vinyls as analogue textures, electronic synths, radio signals, animal calls, and our voices create a layered chorus. These elements are looped, mixed, and distorted using sound software and a manual loop machine, resulting in a deeply textured auditory experience. This project is in development through multiple residencies and presentations. It will eventually evolve into a stage performance.
