[microsound] Come and Play with Vicky!

[HarS' Sound Chronicles <hars7@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

[ this message is addressed to those on the microsound list that, more or 
less regularly, perform live ...]

"Vicky's Mosquitos" is a recent project of mine. It is based upon 
'Mosquitos', a chapter from 'Mars & other Stars', a story that I wrote 
during the first weekend of september 2001. The story is set agains the 
yearly Stockhausen summer courses, that take place in the German village of 
Kuerten. Those that have been there, will surely recognize a lot. The 
story's pure 'fiction', though.

In "Vicky's Mosquitos", MacOS voice 'Vicky' reads a version of the text, 
that I adapted to the peculiarities of 'her' voice and diction.

I recorded Vicky's reading.
It takes her 30 minutes and 7 seconds to say it all.

For the sequel of this project I'm looking for musicians that are willing to 
create a soundtrack to Vicky's reading of 'Mosquitos'. As (part of) a 'live 
performance'. Improvised, composed ... whatever.
They may use all of Vicky's reading, unaltered; or choose parts of it; or 
make their own 'cut-up' of the reading. Comment uon it, react to it, destroy 
it, enhance it, de(con)struct it ...

The only 'conditions' are:
1. It should be done 'live' (in public);
2. Each performance should start with, and leave unaltered, the first phrase 
of Vicky's reading.

You can listen to and/or download Vicky's reading from the Open Source Audio 
section of the Internet Archive:

If you are interested in 'playing with Vicky', and participate in the 
project, I will send you and audio-CD with the recording's master file.

Please contact me off list!

Thanks!
