beginnings

Here are my initial thoughts on the project:

Parameters:
4 min
duet
use of existing score

Sources:
Stalker, dir. Andrei Tarkovsky 1979
a good example of the tension and suspense I'm interested in:

radio jamming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_jamming
electronic warfare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_warfare
sferics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sferic
also a Pynchon reference:

Concepts:
the creation of space
the condition of being watched
oscillating between different physical states
systems of control and how they are constructed physically
signs and signals
interference
static

Technology:
7 (or however many) FM radios, battery operated, vintage/ugly is good, all tuned to same frequency receiving static
1 wearable (velcro?) short range FM radio transmitter with microphone--maybe contact mic on chest so hear heart beat--this essentially operates like a baby monitor...
