This piece is pretty similar to the child game «Chinese whispers». The original is a singing improvisation which I recorded onto Minidisc. This singing I gave 13 friends on headphones, each with the assignment to sing along what they´re hearing. While doing so I filmed them with my video camera. The resulting series of portraits is screened silently while the voice of these so portrayed people is given again on headphones of the music performer on stage - with exactly the same assignment: play along what you´re hearing as exactly as possible.
