Redo/Undo: Immaterial Processes and Elements Untitled Video, 0:21 December 2017 With the prompt at first I found it hard to select a piece I wanted to redo/undo but with some thought I wanted to do the last project done Composition 1:20 (Immaterial Processes and Elements).While I did find it was successful, I wanted to present it in another way that was more controllable. Performance art is tough because not always is it executed how one would imagine it to be and thats what I found was unfavorable in Composition 1:20, also like many of my other pieces it was heavy with details that helped communicate the message but I wanted to challenge myself to make it more minimalistic. With this new piece its main theme of life and death, I am again making the accordion “breathe" air in and out to signify life breathing in sync with the beating heart, When the “playing" stops so does the heart signifying death. I like the idea of using the instrument without conventionally playing it; plus adds this connotation to it that the body is like a mechanism.

Immaterial processes and Elements Title Composition 1:20 Performance Speaker, Accordion, Redlight, cellphone, Stool, November 2017 When thinking of a piece that is “immaterial” the first thing that came to mind was sound, I wanted to create a piece that the audience could understand audibly. Although there is a performance aspect to it I went with an approach of a sort of anti-performance to deter focus on the performer. There are many details throughout the piece that signify different ideas or thoughts but they all make sense in the grand theme. The duration of the piece was important, i wanted to use the number three because its references to a beginning, middle and end and more philosophically put, a life cycle. Additionally I chose 1:20 because it is a way to hint at 3; I thought of it like 1+2 is 3 or seeing it like a regular number sequence, zero isn’t truly a number so 3 would be the next number. To me the bells are a childish instrument, they are one of the first instruments I learned in elementary; I associate them with the “beginning”. As the piece progresses the sound of the accordion “breathing” is being produced in a steady pace until the end where it dies out. Throughout the “middle” of the piece there is a loop of signs of life, chitter chatter and overall human noises before it ends with notes F, A, D, E on grand piano and a piece from Pavarotti’s version of Pagliacci. I played those specific notes because when we die we fade away with time and the clip from Pagliacci was to signify the drama we see in death. The setting of the piece was in a closet and illuminated with a red light; this made me think of the body almost like a heart and red can signify blood, which makes me think of the body too. For a while now I’ve been interested in lyricless music and certain instruments that I collect for their sound. With that interest and influences of artists we looked at for reference this piece was conceptualized.
