Žižek!? (2009)

Žižek!? is an alternative soundtrack to the Žižek!(2005) documentary by Astra Taylor about Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek. It consists of a live experimental computer-mediated performance for improvising musicians performing on piano, double bass and drums. Each improviser has a laptop in front of them, connected through a computer network, by which the improvisers receive individual written directions, timing instructions, score animations (moving graphical notation) and through headphones an aural score that consists of music they have to interact with.
