I was very safe. . . in my dream (1998) 3'00"
This short piece was composed both as a distinct electro-clip and as a section of a much larger collaborative radiophonic work entitled Ways of Hearing (Chuprun, McKinnon, Prior, Saario; University of Birmingham, 1998). The larger work focused on the relationship between recording and death, with many interviews and recording 'artifacts' throughout. This short work plays on self-referential contradictions - in the recording milieu and in human relationships such as between the parent and child and between the audience and entertainer - and with remembering and forgetting. This piece appears on the CEC compilation of electroacoustic works PRESENCE III.
