generator (2005)_
urban-speed time-out
. . . steps out of its urban roots, taking the listener on a discovery of the concept of time and of a Zeitraum, or 'time-space'.
Through expanding the inevitable outcome of a musical idea, the result in »generator« is an inexhaustible source of new ideas. A time-space emerges, where the music takes on its own time, experienced either in real-time or what the listener believes to be 'real-time'.
Devoid of deliberate musical gestures, the work allows for time for reflection.
In this reflection-state, the outcome becomes increasingly irrelevant, and the most gratifying experience usually manifests itself in the process within the time-space. Sometimes, however, an outcome can be significantly memorable as to force a further reflection on the music that has passed, although it may be experienced solely as a non-lineal reflective-state.
Like stepping into a massive cathedral where one is overwhelmed by its awesome defiance of nature, »generator« demonstrates the stepping into a time-space that is both necessary and time-less.
