_______________________________________________________________
re/wind/re/write is a piece derived from childhood memories 1980´s cassette culture. This work is loosely constructed around the four main functions of a cassette recorder: record, play, fast-forward and rewind. The cello is treated as the magnetic tape and its gestures are constantly manipulated in speed and direction. The percussion (or piano and 2 performers) oscillate between adding noise and interference to the "tape" (cello) and mimicking the sounds of this imaginary tape recorder that is controlling the piece.
