Good evening.
I want to present a piece called „Star Me Kitten“ by „Alexander Schubert“.
The work is 8 minutes long and consists of 5 parts.

The approach of the piece is to examine the relation between visual content and musical responses.
In this presentation I will use a technique called „point observation“, using pictures, videos and scenarios as source material,
like for example
this
this
and
that.

Before we begin with the piece I want to introduce the instruments in the ensemble.
A B C D E F

And the instrument groups are:
The Dog Group,
The Hate Group,
And the Sex Group.

This is my vacation in Rome.

This is a naked lady and a dog.

And now we go back to the toilet and we take the chainsaw that we previously had.

Paying with your credit card in an antique furniture store while you wait for your mother to come home from the swimming pool, where she met you tennis teacher, whom you spotted on the way to the cinema last night.

This is me waiting in the dark.

Ok, for the next chapter, let’s step a step back and try to approach the topic from a less personal perspective.

Do you know my parents?
Yes!

Fuck.

Shit.
Can we fix this somehow?

I asked you before whether you knew my parents.
That was a trick question.

This is how she takes a piece of paper from her pocket,
unfolds it,
it’s a business card from a sports club,
it says:
This is your future!

Do you remember how previously we decided to go back to the toilet and take the chainsaw?
Now imagine
this:
You’re standing in front of the toilet door,
sharpening the scissors,
very quietly
so the couple inside doesn’t hear us
and then the phone rings
Fuck!
The door slams open
we start to run
up the stairs,
up up up…..

on the floor in front of me
is a door
but it’s a trap door
I open the door and look down
and standing
in the room below I see a person,
it’s the tennis trainer,
the tennis trainer from the cinema
he’s obviously watching porn on his telephone
I hear the steps behind

It’s the tennis professional again - Shit!
It’s the tennis professional again - Shit!
It’s the tennis professional again - Shit!
It’s the tennis professional again - Shit!
It’s the tennis professional again - Shit!

It’s

now an open door,
I fall on the street

I look up, I see a billboard
I see:

I turn around,
smash the window of the shop next door

climb inside, go to the register, take the money
go to the computer
is it working?

Don’t turn around now
