Sound Digressions in Seven Colors is the culmination of several projects that Tony Oursler has been experimenting with for a number of years. For this project, the performers were recorded and then recombined in an installation setting to experiment with chance recombination. Each performer was not told what the other one would play, only that they would be mixed with 6 other players.
Once the performances were captured in high-quality sound and video, they were projected on a video screen that allows the viewer to see the image from both sides.
