from Music on a Budget

This is the sound video version of one in a series of pieces from the Music On a Budget series by Gustavo Matamoros. Sound Consumption documents the transformation of a wooden match as it burns, audible from the match’s perspective. The video was first screened as part of In a Fishtank, a 50-minute long work created for the Interpretation Series at the request of Thomas Buckner and performed in December 1996 at Merkin Hall in NYC.
