This video concert performance applies various audio-visual techniques. It is based on everyday objects that are diverted from their intended use to serve as instruments and are recorded and filmed in the process. For the live presentation, the video samples are projected on to two screens. Sound and image are identical, meaning that only the original sound track of the video is used – so what you see is what you hear and vice-versa. Next, the videos are altered: scratched or manipulated in terms of speed, direction and cut by means of keyboards and controllers, thus creating worlds of sounds and images that is gradually condensed into a rhythm-oriented video collage. In a second phase of the performance, the videos are sequenced and applied as a backdrop for live music. Sound bodies, mostly do-it-yourself constructions such as trash drums, a self-made guitar or household gadgets, are added to create live-music, which is modulated then and there. Pot lids are stroked and mutate to brutish vast expanses of sounds. The output is then looped and reintegrated in the pulsating structure of the video. The musicians of Sissikontest loop and process the sound material live and provide this amalgam of live-acoustics and video-performance with added flavour.
