This performance work plays with a number of themes, not the least of which is the contemporary pressure to present oneself as larger-than-life, in the hope that one might be noticed in a distracted culture. Of course the work also revels in those distractions... Most noticeable is the 70lb. electro-luminescent bathrobe the artist models while sleepwalking through the audience. Add to this an electronic harp made from four bicycle wheels, using the performer’s mouth shape to digitally control the envelope of the plucked spoke signal. Then add an electronic drum circle with 30 triggered bike seats, using an elaborate MIDI system which plays samples of sleeping noises. Finally add a voice organ, fashioned from bicycle pumps, coupled to an electronic wind synth-esizer, which plays pre-recorded confessions of an artist’s self discovery through cycle-analysis.
