DREAM MACHINE - created by Dave Harrington, Sophia Brous, Wild Dogs International. Featuring: The Master Musicians of Jajouka led by Bachir Attar, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, Oliver Coates, Zeena Parkins, Greg Fox, Trevor Dunn and special guests.
A dazzling collision of mesmeric light, color and sound, first commissioned by Red Bull Music Festival New York and Pioneer Works, DREAM MACHINE is a live reimagining of Bryon Gysin and William Burroughs’ seminal experiential invention, the dream machine. Described by Gysin as “the world’s first work of art designed to be viewed with eyes closed,” the dream machine brought about vivid hallucinations of brilliant color through the repeat exposure of high-intensity flicker light. In this immersive concert installation, multi-instrumentalist/composer Dave Harrington, musical director and chanteuse Sophia Brous and designers Wild Dogs International come together to create an extended live meditation on the landmark invention, combining high-intensity strobe, immersive lighting and ceiling projection and a live dream soundtrack performed by an exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime gathering of music luminaries.
