African Feedback
by Alessandro Bosetti (WDR, 2006)
Sound artist Alessandro Bosetti traveled to West Africa with a CD player and selections of experimental, electro-acoustic and improvised music. He played the music through headphones for residents of Dogon and Mossi villages and simultaneously recorded their responses, from descriptions to imitations to periods of silence. Bosetti then used their "feedback" to produce a mesmerizing composition about cultural differences, the practice of listening, and the dynamic relationship between voice and song.
