Route One: Delays

Route One follows a typical commuter journey around the Athens suburbs. A short car trip leads to a longer spell in the metro system before the traveller emerges to listen to the voices on a crowded neighbourhood pavement. It is built entirely from field recordings and handheld video logs of such a journey, gathered in the very last days before the Covid-19 lockdown of March 2020 and during the reopening of May 2020. This live electronic performance, Delays, builds on the work by using the physical creation of delays (via vintage tape loops) to explore memory, recollection and transformation.
