Fame Exquis examines the epicenters of the culture of fame, Hollywood, London and Paris, through celebrity posts on Twitter, bringing them to the acoustic realm via text-to-voice software. The fractured structure of the tweets is mirrored in a parallel audio stream of free associations which preempt, redeem and color the aural portraits. The Glitz and Information Technology meet the Futurist tradition.
Track List:
12 - Pop Screams, Glass shatering, "There Are No More Tickets To The Funeral" (excerpt - by Diamanda Galás), Window breaking & Explosions
13 - Ben Stiller
