Experience how the boundary between performer and audience dissolves, as karaoke becomes a living soundscape where the audience themselves become part of the work.
In “Luminous Hue, ad(d) libitum. Karaoke – Disc 1 of 4” karaoke acts both as a medium and as notation, allowing the audience to perform the composer’s music without prior knowledge of the pieces. Auto-tune and a familiar aesthetic make it possible for anyone to join in, turning singing into an experience without fear of mistakes.
