Violin and pre-recorded violin: Orest Smovzh
Composition and amplification: Simone Spampinato
“You will have mutilated your own gaze until you can count within it three hundred and forty-three tears; it will be a useful grid for judging the outcome of the game at a single glance. As soon as you unseal your eyelids, you will know that you have once again lost against chance. The total number of birds may perhaps approach an ideal, elegant figure, but you will have lost all the same.”
— Antoine Volodine, Our Loved Animals
On the day of the concert, the violinist makes nine recordings across nine specific places and moments in time, beginning in the early hours of the morning. That evening, these fragments are played back. The live performance unfolds as a negotiation between what has already happened and what is happening now.
