about

Juxtaposing the mechanical time with a more human time, a time that fluctuates and is not regulated by the clock beat.
Creating a sensation of duality and feeling torn and undecided between which of the two to follow with the ear and to lose the mechanical aspect of time without making the music fall apart.

It becomes a matter of timing:

1. Chronos (Clock-time): “What time did I crash the car?”
2. Kairos (Timing/ right time): “You crashed the car at 4:01 but what time is the best time to tell your mother that you have crashed it?”

Kairos asks the question of “What is it time for?” and requires the cognitive ability to understand the quality of time or the timing of an action.
It enables us to abandon machine time and to lock onto a more human rhythm.
It resembles a still point where we can forget for a second about how big the luggage is, which we carry with us in the present and future when thinking of the linear clock-timeline. It opens up the question: Do we control time? Or does time control us?
People reclaim time through Kairos and connect with a more natural, biological or social rhythm.

Abandonment of the collective sensation of pulse, for the sake of handing it over to a more fluid and malleable time sensation, which is dictated by the gestures of the conductor. It is therefore very human, imperfect and not mechanical.
On the other side, the alarm of Theorbo, Guitar and Piano keeps moving forward steadily and reflects time as fragmented and disconnected from past and future, hence its ticking of the clock is a “Now! Now! Now!...”.
