Sound piece featuring a voiceover track and sound effects. The voice reads a text gleaned from archival research into audience relations in performance art, and first hand observations noted over the period of 2019 into early 2020. All observations and references to minor historical actions are fictionalised into a festival type setting, inflected by memories of the incredibly dry summer of 2018. The piece hopes to attune to atmospheres and intimacies of the conditions of performance. Sound effects puncture the reading and provide rhythm and distraction, much like the noisy testimony of the crowd.
