Christof Migone: Mixer
A mix of recorded works presented performatively. The recordings explore repetitive gestures, sonic references, and somatic rhythms. Mixer is a list of verbs: translating, reading, singing, aging, spitting, breathing, sneezing, releasing, muting, counting, testing. Mixer activates space. Mixer performs outside of the concert hall, and as such is compact, contingent, and covert. Mixer thrives in the interstices. Mixer is nimble research.
Duration: 90 minutes.
