‘Collage IV’ is a completely ‘rucksichtslos’ work.
In 1989 i worked in the electronic studio 1 at the conservatory of Den Haag.
Everyone worked with tapes then.
It was common to throw the unused cut tape on the floor.
For 1 year i collected all these throw-aways and kept them in a box, not just mine, but all tape.
At the end of the year i pasted everything together, random, without listening tot the content.
It is a typical conceptual work in the ‘Den Haag’ tradition.
I never played it to an audience, but i did play it to the examen-commission at one of my examens and it was hilarious to watch the faces of my teachers, who were totally not amused.
