MAPS OF THE TRACKS OF YOU is a solo music performance.

2

To perform this piece, the following equipment is required:

a wireless headphone;
a wireless microphone;
a long-time delay system;
one performer;
several people sitting on chairs;
and several listeners.

3

All sounds occurring within the performance space and time are delayed for one minute, and played out from the performer's headphone.

4

This sound from one minute past is used as a map to guide the performance.

5

The performer sits in front of the audience with eyes closed. After the initial one minute of map-making, all the lights in the venue go out.

6

The performance consists in reciting this instruction, while dragging the people on chairs one by one; the sound of both actions forms the subsequent sound map.

7

The sound map instructs the performer when to recite the instructions, and when to drag the people on chairs (recite only when there is a space in the sound map, and drag only while reciting)

8

Each minute, the performer considers the first person he drags as a human microphone. The volume of his voice for the rest of the minute is determined according to the distance to that human microphone. Reciting will thus include shouting and whispering.

9

The performance ends and all the lights are turned back on when this instruction is recited until the end.
