infoLive Performance 28'00". During a live performance the original voice recordings are played back in a speaker system while the musician follows the notation as closely as possible in unison or in chord variations.$To perform this uncanny piece of musical score the musician will have to summon all precision from his musical practice, while he will have to put these trained abilities in an invisible power beyond recognisable human control.
