After darkness had fallen, the two members of Milgram moved deftly between their audiovisual equipment, from
console to console, like NASA scientists or aeronautical engineers. Sounds from a range of different sources, some
live some previously recorded, were mixed together to create a dream-like collage of noise that drifted across the
water towards the audience, where it became blended with environmental sound from the bar and from the road
behind, subtly transforming it in the process, and reminding us of the sculptural properties of sound: that is the
ability it has to fill the space around it.
Whilst many of the other performers had made responses to local history, Milgram seemed more impersonal,
futuristic and post-industrial. But their contribution, though suggesting an alternative worldview was no less
profound for this.
