Human Time Machine

Human Time Machine is a percussion ensemble that uses hand signals to generate and develop rhythmic ideas in real time. The resulting music is an earth-shaking party of organically shifting patterns. Listen, dance and be witness to the collision of cheironomic, linguistic and sonic perspectives.
