A distorted realisation of a classic children's clapping game, Down Down Baby explores musical exchange through oral and kinetic practices in a dialogue between the sexes, embodied in female experience. The viewer can listen to the live performance (above, left) and the performers’ audio obstruction through headphones (above, right)
