Automatic Writing

Automatic Writing

Object Collection’s live adaptation of Robert Ashley’s seminal studio composition

NR 2014 · 46 min · ★ 9.0 · Music

Automatic Writing transforms involuntary speech into an ambient soundscape, conjuring four spectral musical "characters." Object Collection reimagines this on a stage of flickering monitors and shifting light, weaving a dense, ephemeral sound world—less a recreation, more an elusive, living mirage.

Directed by Kara Feely · Written by Robert Ashley
