The listening Dinner Party
Hey friends, this is the sound track to that alt-score piece I worked on last fall...
The Listening Dinner Party (2007)
The Listening Dinner Party was a performative, interactive sound installation-- and a social investigation.
I was looking at relational interaction what it means to relate according to society—AND according to me (someone who grew up moving a lot and having to learn to try to adjust and assimilate on the fly) the piece about trying to know what role is expected of me--- but attempting to turn it on its head.
It was a dinner party, that I designed and served. I wrote a menu complete with complimentary beverages then turned the recipes for the dishes into alternative music/soundtrack scores. I attached a sound to each ingredient (developing themes for all types of ingredients-- for example treating all spices in a similar way, treating all dairy in a similar way, treating all vegetables in a similar way and so on) then I reconstituted the dishes sonically, and served it to my peers.
(you want me to serve you? Sure thing! Lets eat with our ears then!)
