Cutout (6 x 6)

For Tectonics 2021, Close Scrape debuts "Cutout (6x6)", a modular piece structured as a constellation of six semi-independent movements that can be performed or listened to in any order. Well-suited to the task at hand, Close Scrape snips fragmentary excerpts of live performance and obsolete recordings, isolates them from their original connections, and – in punctuated transmissions – stitches them together with tailor-made sources of obscure origin. The piece is governed by the guiding idea that music can function as a living artifact, intermediating between channelled worlds and audience receptions.

The online incarnation of "Cutout (6x6)" featured on the festival website (current page) includes new video art for the project by maya + rouvelle, a collaboration between Lili Maya and James Rouvelle that began in 2009 in New York (https://www.mayarouvelle.com/)

On 8. May, Close Scrape will debut a live broadcast version for BBC Radio 3 with purpose-recorded material for "Cutout (6x6)" by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.
