reminisce this (2003)
 
  The Drum Lecture series began in 2003 with the confrontational collaboration Reminisce This with the artist and drummer Dave Carbone. Facing Carbone as he plays drums Coy repeatedly shouts a series of statements that appear as sub-titles. Each has been extracted from one of a number of sources including contemporary art conferences and the spiel of a museum tour guide, making for compulsive, surreal and humorous incantations. Carbone’s semi-destructive rhythms are played till the point of exhaustion giving the work its duration whilst forcing Coy’s pattern of speech.
