Original Soundtrack

Original Soundtrack is a performance of 20 orchestrated television sets and DVD players. On each DVD player is a different, commercially available movie left at its "menu" stage. The DVDs all feature endlessly looping musical cues (this is a design feature found on approximately 50% of all DVDs).

Performed through volume buttons, loops are combined and stacked, resulting in a stable but mutable pastiche soundtrack over a two-hour performance.

Featuring selections from: Carter Burwell, Wendy Carlos, Paul Giovanni, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Hermann, David Holmes, Goblin, Cliff Martinez, Ennio Morricone, Walter Murch, Popol Vuh, Howard Shore and others.
