Loading Dock Session #3

Men versus machine or DEUS Ex Machina. A future perspective on the identity of the percussionist and his instruments. In Nocturne percussionists operate light switches of 16 table lamps through which a magnificent light choreography appears. No room for interpretation here, subordination of the individual to the collective need for merciless precision.

In MA(N|CHINE) the roles are turned around. Merciless precision is now in the capable hands of three machine triggers that are controlled by architectural images. Speakers, assembled on four bass-drums, give these instruments vocal qualities. A dialogue between human and machine, image and sound.

We release a new Loading Dock Session every two weeks. Subscribe to the Slagwerk Den Haag YouTube channel and follow the Loading Dock Sessions!
