mayakovsky, part 1

Yesterday we did a try-out of our Mayakovsky performance, it will be performed in full during the opening of "two sides of a story" .

I recite a poem by Mayakovsky in Dutch to Koen de Wit playing clarinet. The laptop running max/msp feeds us back the performance, cut-up, reversed, scrambled nonsense, slowly fading to a recording of Mayakovsky reciting the same poem in Russian almost a century ago. While we perform a stop motion sequence by Sabine Bolk is synched using jitter.
