Golden_Profit (2019) for voice, electronics, tape, and visuals is a multimedia work for solo performer that examines the possibilities of immanence and liberty in the context of late-capitalism. The tape part uses a cut-up technique that cycles through a range of modalities related to the sounds created by voice and tape in combination with guitar effects units. The performance improvises with these elements to alternately juxtapose, and mirror the tape part and the visual component of the work which combines still images with text from Amergin, William Blake, and Mark Fisher.
A short video excerpt of the music in preparation for its debut live performance in 2018 is included below, as well as some stills from the visuals.
