Disruptions - Man in Regent Street
a collaboration with Jonathan Higgins
Disruptions: Man in Regent Street is a new work for soprano, paper and electronics created by Jonathan Higgins and Mimi Doulton. It explores how the destruction of a score can be used positively during a performance to generate and transform musical material, inspired by discussions around the environment and reuse. The text is a commentary on climate change and the paradox between consumerism, economic growth and protecting the planet.

“While individual contributions are important, the majority of global emissions are caused by a small number of companies. Widespread rhetoric telling us what to change, what to buy, to do more, is a distraction from the capitalist greed that is responsible for the destruction of the planet. They do this just to make more profit.”
