The Autobiography of Broken Instruments
The Autobiography of Broken Instruments
2-channel fixed media,
2018.
The Autobiography of Broken Instruments was initially composed for the Broken Orchestra Remix Project call for works, initiated by Found Sound Nation in collaboration with Temple Contemporary in 2018. The original piece was made through a careful selection on over 800 hundred samples of broken instruments, mostly orchestral instruments. It was not accepted for the project, but I still found the piece hilarious—at least to me.
