Indistinct Chatter is a podcast series accompanying the group exhibition with the same title at LAYR Vienna curated by Pia-Marie Remmers. Each episode features one artist in the show, offering an extended space for their work and thoughts.

The third episode presents an audio drama and self-composed song by Yong Xiang Li. In the short piece, the artist tells a friend on the phone about rediscovering an old song he wrote himself three years earlier, after a memorable encounter with a stranger in a nightclub. Now, years later, the description of the situation seems so foreign and yet so familiar to him. What do we expect from a conversation with a stranger and how much of what is spoken gets lost in both translation and the “messiness of the social”?

Music written and produced by Mike Ratledge
