DAKOTA WAYNE
composer
Live In Stereo
uses the concept of recording to show the relationship between the virtual image of the archive and the actual situation of the concert.
Live in Stereo
reimagines the concert as an archive in which conventions, atrtifacts, and attitudes are stored in musical practice and social behavior.

The camera and the microphone alike are the dual means of creating that "stereo image" of an archive that both encodes practice and which flaunts memory by being preserved for recollection at any moment.
The recording apparatus, the central mechanism by which this doubled world is created, allows not only for the perpetual storage of unforgettable moments, but also allows them to be transformed according to fantasy.
At its core, Live in Stereo articulates this tension of the "capture-and-store" function of recording, between live and sampled, virtual and actual, recall and remember, placing the audience literally inside a stereo image.
