Weaving a fabric of existing and newly commissioned compositions by Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, Stellan Veloce and Didem Coskunseven, a group of eight performers slowly and consciously build a moment, a momentum, moving toward the breaking point where individuals become a critical mass. The performance makes use of unusual instruments such as swinging bull roars, aluminum tubes, small handheld rocks and megaphones, as well as a modular synthesizer. The dancers and musicians collaborate to realise both the musical and choreographic score.
