Most musical material in Talk Show is derived from audio-to-midi-conversions of political TV-discussions – interpreted freely ‘by hand’, trying to find some sense in the glitchy and impossible-to-play results. How much ‘Talk Show’ is left after this process of transformation, which erases all the semantic information of the original conversation?

Recorded at Pina Bausch Theater, Folkwang Uni, Essen, on 11.01.2022 by Arthur Jogerst. Performed by Ensemble Perspektive.
