Clock Dies

Quick Info

As a composer, jazz trombonist, improvisor, computer music pioneer, researcher, professor and author, George Lewis is a legend of the American new music scene. As creative as he is critical, as philosophical and experimental as he is, the artist, who shared the stage with stars like Count Basie, Anthony Braxton or John Zorn, has helped shape the landscape of musical discourse in North America and sharpened awareness of the hegemonic structures that continue to determine musical life today. The meditative piece „Clock Dies” by post-experimental composer Sarah Hennies is in stark contrast to Lewis’ impulsive music of unexpected turns. What links George Lewis and the one generation younger artist from Kentucky is an extraordinarily vast action field, which besides compositions, improvisation and drums also touches the film and performance art world. Her interests hone in on sociopolitical and psychological topics such as psychoacoustics or queer trans identity. In „Clock Dies” she is wondering what will happen if the circadian clock in the human brain only goes slightly out of synch.
