Description

The performance consists of ten songs in which music, language and images are equally important. In most of the songs Anderson plays violin accompanied by her own singing and an audiotape.She also uses the “tape bow violin” - the traditional horsehair strings have been replaced by a piece of audiotape, on which spoken text and other sounds have been recorded.
