Christof Migone is a sound-artist working with language, voice, bodies, performance, intimacy, complicity, and endurance. We discuss teaching, radio, sound art, rhythm, sounds the body makes…and a typology of farts. We listen to a work of Migone’s featuring several inebriated Quebecois performers listening to a failed piece by Christof on headphones. (We can’t hear it, only the listeners listening in the original room…if that makes sense.) And also: tracks by Kee Avil, General Strike, RP Boo, and David Garland.
