Site-based live sessions / music / short film

Mono Position project documentation

How does a place enter a live recording?

Mono Position moved performances out of the studio and into a coffeehouse, a barbershop and a street collector’s cart. Voices, traffic, tools and daily routines became part of the recordings and shaped each short film.

Role
Concept, music production and live performance
01

Location as collaborator

The sessions were recorded in active places rather than controlled studios. Each location contributed its own rhythm, voices and interruptions.

02

Three positions

The coffeehouse, collector’s cart and barbershop create three different relationships between performer, audience and the surrounding city.

03

Short-film form

The camera observes the social character of each place as closely as the performance. The same musical practice changes with every location.
