For Tectonics 2021, Close Scrape debuts "Cutout (6x6)", a modular piece structured as a constellation of six semi-independent movements that can be performed or listened to in any order. Well-suited to the task at hand, Close Scrape snips fragmentary excerpts of live performance and obsolete recordings, isolates them from their original connections, and – in punctuated transmissions – stitches them together with tailor-made sources of obscure origin. The piece is governed by the guiding idea that music can function as a living artifact, intermediating between channelled worlds and audience receptions.

The online incarnation of "Cutout (6x6)" includes new video art for the project by maya + rouvelle, a collaboration between Lili Maya and James Rouvelle that began in 2009 in New York.
