Performing Do I Regret? by José Martínez with video by Sara Martínez on Concert 4 of the SPLICE Festival at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Additional performances by Will Yager, Jean-François Charles, Marcea Maguire, Caroline Miller, Leah Reid, Kyle Hutchins, Elliott Lupp, Badie Khalegian, Wilson Poffenberger.

Do I Regret? pursues the impossibility of undoing what is already done, of traveling back in time and revisiting that moment that changed the path. The score involves improvisation and written music and achieves this utopia thanks to the help of technology. The performer is asked to create on the spot and these spontaneous creations are recorded, and later used to accompany themselves. Thus, every performance has a renewed sense and reflects the performer’s emotion at that specific moment. At the very end of the piece, the performer revisits these creations and has the power to transform and mix their final creation, fulfilling the utopia of changing the past.   - José Martínez
