In the work Ground station, I sing inside a homemade parabolar I dug out of the ground. I wantet to reach the star nation, aliens, gods and all the other beings of the universe,
Depending on the size of a parabol, the further the Parabolar can transmit, I dug my Parabolar in the ground and covered it with clay and performed in it.
In order to get more sound out of it, I strapped a loudspeaker around my waist, and made it point down towards the centre of the dish so it could broadcast as far as possible.
In addition I had a balloon hanging in the focal point, with a wireless microphone attached to it. The mic picked up the sound from above the Parabolar dish, and sent it down to heardphones on the ground.
You could stand next to me and watch me perform, while you could hear what the sky would hear.
sing you an ocean
and swim to the land
we can make love there
in the white sand
I'll draw you a mountain
And climb to the top
I scream to the world
Who I love
I'll write you a poem
A whole novel
When we have nothing
We still have stories to tell
All comes from Nothing
Nothing at all
