CONSUME

At its most basic level CONSUME is a theatrical presentation of 5 pieces of music created by composers working under the influence of computers. It also exists as a workshop for meditation on (among other things) the role of technology in our lives, the heredity of compositional ideas, musical and theatrical experimentation, visual and sonic suggestion, and the audience as a consumer.
