M Butterfly from my sound work “Lovemad”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Central Park, a live broadcast performance of Puccini’s Madam Butterfly is about to commence, but first we must deal with the radio DJ and his peculiar brand of sunstroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inspired by equal parts fascination with sacred erotic texts, neurological disorders and Hitchcock-ian suspense, lovemad>> is a cinematic love story in five parallel universes. This \u2190sound-cinema event\u2192 is modeled after old-styleradio plays and the narrative unfolds in linearly progressed loops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The initializing concept behind undertaking a sound project was the idea that the first cinema we experience is in vitro. As fetuses, we are awash in soundwaves, via amniotic fluid, that create our first virtual reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
