Hans Tammen will perform "Spiracles" on his hybrid interactive guitar/software instrument, the "Endangered Guitar". This work consists of independent voices simultaneously drawn from his guitar with strange contraptions such as magnets, electric shavers, pocket warmers, sticks, stones, and so on. Processed with his own custom programmed software and with an unusual take on guitar-based software control, these sounds are transformed into an alien world of bizarre textures and jarring Euclidian rhythms. They may seem chaotic on the surface, but with a forest of apparently separate details, interlinked underneath, are woven together as a maze of infinite complexity.
