in discusion with the composer
james wise (with whom i have collaborated on two albums and aided the research into some of his own compositions) regarding the possibility (or rather joke) of filling a
one hundred and eighty five tb magnetic tape produced by sony i came up with the concept of producing a seven day long piece for performance which was to be both filmed and recorded and released on one medium ie. a single external hard drive.
the piece became 'deus ex machina' and it may possibly be performed in some way as people have volunteered to find a venue to host it.
when i wrote the score for it (more in the style of
alvin lucier and
annea lockwood's sets of written instructions) i did not intend a performance to be attempted, it was purely conceptual. now that possibility may come to be.
