“ A reflection on modern life glimpsed through the prism of communications technology, ‘u,i’ was recorded almost entirely over VOIP (voice over internet protocol) apps like Skype. Using voices extracted from personal video feeds and instrumental performances (cello, flute, violin, clarinet, organ), these were sent between their studios in Berlin and Montreal via VOIP, and re-recorded whilst playing with bandwidth reduction to colour and accentuate its flaws and distortions”.
