Twelve hour sleep music concert footage performed by Michael McDermott at fidget. This work was inspired and patterned after the Tibetean Book of the Dead as a symbol for death/sleep/Bardo/waking and rebirth.
This live performance used synthesizers, tape loops and slow motion surround sound sonic landscapes to warp the audiences’ perception of time as the music will reach the level of near stillness through the wee hours of the morning. This concert was meant to be experienced subsciouslessly as McDermott cycled through his interpretation of themes of death and rebirth found in the Tibetan Book of the Dead. The score culminated at sunrise concluding the sonic lullaby.
