Dialogues Concert


- description of setup process (mixer / limiter / compressor / etc)
- Use of equalization to remove harsh frequencies
- advantages of DI over microphones
- Visual component (children's DVD - Galaxy Ranger Force - colors inverted)
- projection of laser grid onto ground
- use of children's toys, candy, and artwork to create a playful atmosphere
- contrast to the seriousness of the event and the overly academic, pretentious nature of installation art in general
- sense of fun and play to our concert, use of humor and irony through our appropriation of children's melodies and sound effects (pop goes the weasel)
- juxtaposition of 'normal' pre-programmed beats and coherent melodies with squealing noise and drones later on, with a return to 'childhood' at the end of the piece
