This electronic live-set was performed in collaboration with artist Daphnis Monastirioti. I composed and performed a live soundtrack starting from recordings of damaged or malfunctioning hard-drives; at the same time, the sound of those hard-drives was sampled and manipulated during the live-set.
Hard drives are technological devices used to store data, a technological mnemonic device. The deterioration of their circuit represents a slow but certain disappearance of memory, a lack of a property essential to their scope. After losing their memory, hard drives are nothing but useless objects, replaced by newly produced ones. This electronic waste is here infused with new life, their dying memories recorded and offered the possibility to break the destructive loop of consumption that characterises capitalism.
Live set performed during Art Rotterdam 2022 at The New Current.
