Malarkey

About the music:
Composed by Walid Youssef 夜蜘蛛「Yakumo」, this piece is a digital performance that's inspired by Black MIDI compositions and auto-playing musical instruments whereby the potential of machines is used to play beyond human performance ability. Instead, it emulates musicians playing live, embracing their figurative organic qualities such as their physical limitations, improvisations and mistakes.

About the video:
Shot using Bluetooth peripherals, screen mirroring and a phone camera held to the ceiling with a mic stand and stacked furniture. Acted and directed by the composer himself as part of a workshop held by Nicola Von Leffern and the Austrian embassy.
