This music and these images are made out of curiosity to see how multiple images overlap on film and how the waves that occur in tiny electronic circuits translate into the outside world. The whooshing resonates from homemade music circuits and acoustic recordings processed through tape recorder configurations blending in the same way as the colors in the layered images. After projecting analog images during my performances, this is the first release that truly combines my musical and visual universes. Two long side pieces and a selection of 24 slides printed in a luxurious 30 x 30 cm format offer an alternative to the popular myths "our memory is a tape recorder" and "exact photographic memory." When we take the time to listen inside our own heads, what appears might be closer to double-exposed images and swirling tape manipulations than we imagine. (Published May 3, 2019)
