"Barrier, Stop for inspection" was commissioned for the 2018 Warsaw Autumn Festival, and employs sounds, texts and images. The text, about the activity of remembering, was written in June 2018, and was translated to Polish by Halina Cieplińska. It appears both in English and in Polish orally and visually in fixed times during the piece. Most other materials, musical and visual, are performed and controlled during the live performance.
A memory that I create right now.
In fact right now, there are two “right nows”.
Mine when I am typing these words, and yours (possibly in the future) when you are reading them,
Possibly, we may agree that you are there (in time and space) and I am here at a linked “right-now.”
A mutual agreement on an uncertain truth.
