o perform o cough o foam o sfx carving away at the body in pursuit of pure health, at first i eliminated this cut, the cough an interference, at that point it became clear that this is where the body is, that i cut away, erase too much, that this is an occurrence (just as right now there seems to be a riot going on outside our place), that this is what the body does, that anything else is a misstep, then of course on the other hand, the second misstep, that anyone would want to listen to this in this form, the digital erasure in any case brought into play against the analog body, the cold wind, the difficulty breathing into the bass recorder while coughing, the cough interference into attention, the messiness of the whole video, the relative absence of networking beyond that of the foam and interplay of earth, air, water, organism - bass recorder << cough << performance >> bass recorder >> cough http://www.alansondheim.org/cougherase.jpg https://youtu.be/Xvlj1_S5KV8 i live among bytes and bits of rocks and silicon
