If presence, visibility and (self-)staging are associated with ‘existence’ in the post-digital continuum, their absence means death, nothingness. In #AsPresentAsPossible the musicians define their presence by a vanishing self, entering the stage without instruments and exploring the space between defining and being defined, between projecting and being projection. “I’m a white page, in a soundscape, on a wide stage, I’m a white page”.
