Cues from 'iexist'

Here's three cues from I Must Not Theatre's 2010 production 'iexist', a dance/theatre piece created for the 2010 Adelaide Fringe Festival. All were written in the rehearsal room while the director and actors developed the relevant sections of the performance.

King Of The Internet is part of a longer sequence of cues which evolves over about 12 minutes. It contains two pieces of spoken text: 'King Of The Internet', which is spoken by the actor in the final show (so this version was just a guide for me to shape the cue to and isn't delivered perfectly) and 'I Dreamt I Was Made Of Words', which was delivered as part of the score and so is as you hear it. This sequence of cues is built around sampled instruments and field recordings. The organ-like sound is actually a processed recording of wineglasses; there's bees and traffic and a classroom in there as well.

Puppet Dance includes another piece of pre-recorded text which introduces a slow dance sequence. It's built from a field recording of traffic, filtered to make it sound something like a piano.
