How to have a Conversation w/ your Device
How to Have a Conversation w/ Your Device is a sound performance piece meant to be‘an exploration of the relationships we have with our electronic devices, which we usually do not question too deeply. The piece uses an electric guitar and an amp as a means of transmitting signals from a variety of devices and objects to the audience. The objects used include, but are not limited to, a handheld digital camera, a kindle, a toy car, a phone and a vibrator. When using the amp to communicate these sounds, they often sound alien or distorted, varying between the objects. This piece will allow for the performer and the audience to perceive these signals as they will and perhaps make us look at our devices as living entities.
