Out of Order with June Pak, 2004

Collaboration with Evan Shaw
Friday May 21, 2004
Live performance during the 2004 Distillery Jazz Festival
Tapestry New Opera/ Nightwood studios

As the starting point of collaboration, fragments of Jorge Luis Borges' writings were adopted similar to William Burroughs' "cut-up" method. With this thematic material in mind, Evan Shaw composed music for eight musicians to improvise with, and I collected short video clips for the live video feed using MAX/MSP The result was an organic arrangement between sound and image.
