Kinetic Machine: Designed to work, run, dive, and fly, operating relentlessly forward. An engine that is switched on and can’t be stopped, with the consequences of unfolding cause and effect. Music engineered with the interlocking gears of Reich. Set in motion by Guthrie, Ludwig-Leone, and Lang. The program is the system of an impossible machine all propelled forward by Eighth Blackbird.
