Visionary philosopher Timothy Morton and experimental composer Jennifer Walshe join forces to explore the multiplicity of temporalities at the heart of being human. Everyone in the room is important – the fast-paced digital time of Matmos' M.C. Schmidt and Walshe, the deep geological rhythms of instrument builder Lee Patterson, the liminal eternal drones of Irish experimentalist Áine O’Dwyer. The shifting tectonic plates of sound from Norwegian ensembles Streifenjunko and Vilde&Inga. The audience, in Bergen, whose entropy demonstrates that time is indeed passing.
