HAYDN SPACE OPERA by Caitlin Rowley with Bastard Assignments

A performance inside a notebook, fragments of score, the sounds of the rehearsal studio, coffee on loop. Welcome to HAYDN SPACE OPERA, a piece grounded in the repetition, routines and spaces of everyday composition work. Taking place in browser-based online virtual reality, visitors explore the virtual ‘rooms’, discovering audio and visual content both performed and mundane. Warmup exercises, scraps of rehearsal conversation, and improvised performances by Bastard Assignments combine to create a mix of sounds which will be unique for every visitor depending on their movements through the spaces of the piece.
