about

From early on in the "Address Book" project, I knew that some letters would be difficult to find collaborators for; 'X' being chief among them. In October 2014, I was telling some people about the project, and about my concerns with 'X', and Shani Mohini-Holmes said, "I'll change my name to something beginning with X if you want". I said, half-jokingly, I may take you up on that.
So I got a form to change your name from Births, Deaths & Marriages (Tasmanian office, where Shani was born), asked Shani to fill it in, then constructed a table allocating words in the form to me or Shani depending on if the word started with a letter in our names (if the word started with a letter in neither of our names, it counts as a rest), constructed this score for two voices 'Namechanger'.
We performed this together at La Musica (La Mama Theatre) on 20 July 2015, where this recording was made. On the form, Shani requested her name be changed to 'Shani Xceptional'. I haven't sent the form in yet.
