About

The Cold Song Project is a continuous 50-minute performance, the result of a collaboration between Clara Olivares (electronics) and Vanasay Khamphommala (performance), which questions our relationship to time—both the space in which all the experiences of our lives take place, and the process that inexorably brings us closer to our own end.

On an uninterrupted pulse, subtly modulated by electronics, fragments of experiences follow one another, made tangible by music—strange or familiar—a kaleidoscope of sensations, registers, and emotions.
