Four Track Memory
2005-08
Video: 43 minutes
“Four Track Memory” is a video composed of four, synchronized video channels, featuring a performance of The Beatles seminal album “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band” from memory. Each video is a single, uninterrupted take of myself performing the entire album broken down into vocal/lyrics, bass, guitar and percussion. A commentary on the fallibility of memory, each channel was recorded months apart from one another and the flaws of the performance are maintained. A Beatles fan will immediately notice that the piece is not a perfect rendition, but in fact based on memories of sounds and impressions.
