common cents
2013 - 2017



common cents consists of three related works -
memorandum of understanding, state of descent, and
backing track. in different ways all three refer to the efsf,
the european fInancial stability facility.
in memorandum of understanding the letters of the acronym perforate the text of the accord, creating a score which in turn is used to render different articulations with the aid of google translate voices.
state of descent interprets that acronym as tone names and applies them to the retuning of the 4-course bouzouki - with greece being the first beneficiary of the efsf.
and backing track addresses the interdependencies of the supposedly separated fields of music, language and economy.
