WORKTAPE 1999 is a re-creation of a 10-year-old performance VHS tape with the original artists attempting to perform their parts from memory live via web video-chat. The performance videotape is from Kleine’s 1999 piece MEMOIR NEVER WAS (SECRET TALES FROM THE ANNEX), inspired by the diary of Anne Frank and the fall from fame of film noir star Veronica Lake and originally presented by PS122. The nexus of these imperfect transmissions, re-enactments and replications is a piece about our relationship to technology-enhanced memory, the slipperiness of shared experience, and an examination of the process of ensemble performance creation.
Video design by Benton-C Bainbridge. featuring Raquel Cion, Philip G. Kain, Rohana Kenin, Andrea Kleine, Jeremy Laverdure, Carmelita Naval, Tania Varela-Ibarra. Audio installation by Bobby Previte. Music by Jeremy Bernstein.

Italian review of The Separation
Andrea Kleine + Bobby Previte's The Separation
4 stars from All About Jazz Italia
and it is available in The Shop
“Buio in sala, sei fantasmagorici punti luce distribuiti sul palco, il suono sinistro di un organo e una breve frase pronunciata da una voce maschile, che sembra risuonare da un evo distante mille anni. Poi, improvvisa, inattesa, una sventagliata di chitarra accompagnata da un lampo accecante, che si dissolve introducendo le polifonie latineggianti di un coro, salmodiate tra bordate marziali di distorsioni e improvvisi sussulti della batteria.”
which Google translates as:
“Dark in the room, six phantasmagoric light points distributed on the stage, the sound left a body and a short sentence uttered by a male voice, which seems to echo from a distant ages a thousand years. Then, suddenly, unexpectedly, a hail of guitar accompanied by a blinding flash, which dissolves introducing polyphony latin a choir chanted trips between martial and sudden jolts of distortion in the battery.”
