Solo performer with chewing gum and live electronics

---

Initially composed for a performance with InmaPavonDanceCo at Cork City Library in 2023, the piece was extensively reworked for a series of performances in 2024. It incorporates sections of Beethoven’s first symphony and references A Song For Margrit (1997) by Pauline Oliveros and The Girl Chewing Gum (1976) by John Smith.

In 2026 a new recording of this piece was released on the Vanity Project album.

“After Oliveros, Beethoven and the Girl Chewing Gum converts the sounds of mastication into something rich and strange”
