The performance deals with the topic of conversion treatments, a subject which accompanies Roi’s current musical creation. It is formed of two fragments:
“Triggers and an End”- A piece dealing with the processes surrounding the treatment, the before and after, created out of dialogue with patients in different periods, and “Conversion and Silence” which deals with the course of treatment and the patient’s experience.
The work is aiming at to putting the listener in the patient’s shoes and creating an emotional process that communicates the experience of treatments, without dealing with the treatment itself.
Both pieces are sound art pieces and create a buildup towards a climax, out of the possibility of turning them into something more comprehensive, which also contains other artistic elements widening the borders of the process.
Both pieces are performed using Ableton Live software and a drum set.
