I Conduct Electricity (concert version, 1996)

Stereo recording, conductor, 2’30.

This piece was composed in a longer version involving three dancers for the Idée Fixe production, (Y)our House. It is one of the precursors of the Radio Series that evolved from 2007. A series or radio recordings was made on BBC Radio 4 during one single evening and recomposed. Essentially the conductor with back to the audience is using rather unorthodox movements to conduct (?) the radio. The final section with the dancers, not included in the concert work, was co-composed with Odilon Marcenaro during which the dancers mock the conductor’s movements. The recording below is the full Idée Fixe work with the dancers.
