POWERING UP - Marian van der Zon
This is one of four audio pieces created around the theme of power. The origins of this piece come from thinking about hegemonic power and provide the listener the opportunity to eavesdrop in on ideas around power, who holds it, and in what ways. Sounds are derived from public figures and well-known symbols/sounds of power, in the author’s experience and opinion. All and everything is manipulated, twisted, and convoluted… highlighting the power that lies in the hands of the producer.
