about

About The Musical Tracing Ensemble:

An ensemble of musicians is gathered in a performance space. Each musician has their own instrument, means of amplification (if needed), and pair of headphones. All musicians’ headphones are plugged into one outputting sound source (usually an iPod with many headphone splitters and headphone amps). Music (usually a well known song from the popular music canon) is played from the sound source and the musicians are instructed to play something, anything that they hear in their headphones as accurately as they can on their own instrument. The musicians never know what songs or sounds they will be hearing in advance. The audience only hears what the musicians are playing and none of the original sound source, thus creating a “tracing” of the sound source material.
There is no rehearsal, everything is live.

All of the songs' titles are anagrams of the titles of the songs being traced. i.e. "Creole Bundt" could be a tracing of "Don't Be Cruel"...
It may help the recorded listening experience to not know the what the song is in advance; in the same way the audience at a live MTE show experiences the music.

This particular set of pieces were selected from songs referenced throughout Dave Muller's art show "Sunset, Sunrise (repeat) b/w The Record Pavilion" with the exception of the two encore pieces.
