On the plus side of our union with technology devoid of intellect or soul: a simulacrum of a family band is conjured by a solo musician in a “computer-aided improvisation.”
Stash the gong, kendang, and gamelan in storage and leave the family at home. “The Waterclock” is efficient. One artist, one machine. All the natural and flexible energy of collaboration is intact. Ewing generates organic polyphony through the application of custom software. The rhythm swirls off-the-clock; patterns of bright orange particles dance on the spiral arms.
