Automatic Writing
“Object Collection’s live adaptation of Robert Ashley’s seminal studio composition”
2014•NR•46m•9.0•Released
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.
