In 'Excerpt-T' Cardews work 'Treatise' is re-imagined through the prism of a machine dreaming. Transient sections of Cardew's original work are ever present and form the template of the unfolding dream, the dream follows a discontinous narrative. Moments shift in mesmerising yet unscrutable patterns, reflecting aspects of the original, but altered and opaque. A silicon reverie.The visual elements of the piece were Inspired by the 60's work of graphic designer Kazumasa Nagai and by Cardew's own system of graphical scoring.
