Cluster is featuring Winnipeg-based composer, music theorist, performer and inventor Daryn Bond at the festival’s final night, BLITZ! Saturday, March 26th, 8pm @ 318 Ross Ave. He will be performing a new work, STANDARD MACHINE. In his own words:

“I am very excited to be presenting this new work. After a short stint of being type-cast as an installation artist, I return once more to performance. STANDARD MACHINE is a work for live electronics and video, generated algorithmically in real-time, in which each performance is unique. Harmonic Matrix theory in its simplest form is used to generate both the rhythms and the harmonies. The audience will have the opportunity, perhaps for the first time, to experience the beauty of perfectly and precisely tuned triads. None of the exact details of the video or the music is known in advance. In this unpredictable environment, I will play along with the music [hopefully staying out of trouble] on the sadly obsolete but much beloved acoustic grand piano, as well as perform on my newest instrumental creation/adaptation, the iPad [a.k.a the Padivarius].”
