Human Separation A Collaboration with the artist Stephen Cornford Human Separation is a mechanical rock band performance, a wide variety of mundane motorised objects adapted to play the stock instruments of live rock music. An ongoing collaborative venture that investigates the possibilities and problems of inserting primitive technologies between the musicians' hands and the instrument. A musical embodiment of both the potential and the pitfalls of sacrificing just a touch of control and embracing an element of chance. An elaborately visual sound performance where machines are elevated to the position of performers and we are reduced to the role of stage hands, stripping the traditional theatricality out of the live rock experience, yet all functioning together as a single musical organism. The music itself drifts from mesmeric ambience to an obliterative noise onslaught.
