Remnants
This was an exciting collaboration among sound artists, composer, electronic music DJ and interview recordings. A truly dark story based on real facts from Courtney Angela Brkic’s book Stone Fields: Love and Death in the Balkans.
In order to create this piece, we started from scratch, Patrick, interviewed Angela through skype after reading the book. The bits of story were divided in tracks. We spend a few days in the studio working out a system on how to organise these tracks and relate each track with music, sound, photography, video and objects. For this we created a massive wall diagram that was colour coded and allowed us to move things around and try different combinations.
