zeit. lebenszeit.
wie funktioniert unsere zeit, wenn sie von maschinen kontrolliert und gesteuert wird?

zwei unterschiedliche antworten auf diese frage: zunächst in form einer durchaus entspannten zeitreise durch die geschichte der elektronischen tanzmusik, für die daze dasen aka plastique de rêve seine ufos auf die zeitreise schickt.

im anschluss befasst sich pharoah chromium aka ghazi barakat noch einmal mit jenen maschinen, die unsere lebenzeit verlängern sollen – und dem preis, der dafür zu zahlen ist: "… eine herz-lungen-maschine spielt den soundtrack deines lebens … wer entscheidet, wann abgeschaltet wird?"

[english]

time. life time.
how does our time work when being contolled by machines?

two considerably different answers to this question. first we are invited to enter the ufos daze dasen aka plastique de rêve has built as time machines to travel along the history of electronic dance music.

"Between live mix, sound collage and scientific experiment, 'The Time Machine' explores the many dimensions of past and present day electronic dance music, quantum-jumping the barriers within the genre, blurring the lines between past, present and future, with its search-lights focused on the rare and unusual." [D.D.]

afterwards pharoah chromium aka ghazi barakat takes another look at the machines that were built for supporting our life and to prolong our life time:

"… a cardiopulmonary bypass playing the soundtrack of your life – when is the time right to turn it off?" [G.B.]
