Techno-diva Amy X Neuburg, known for her wildly entertaining "avant-cabaret" performances, presents a new song cycle for voice, cello trio, and live electronics. Conceived largely while riding on New York subways, these 12 songs use urban imagery and metaphors of war to explore the deceits, battles and triumphs within personal relationships. Using drum pads, faders and pedals, Neuburg processes both her voice and the cellos with effects and real-time looping, to build up layered harmonies and counterpoints live on stage. Presented in dramatized concert form with special lighting effects.
Here is a lo-tech video of work in progress (The Lab, SF 2005).
