Gregarious Machines is the second in a series of pieces that explores the modern-day relationship between humans and technology. Inspired by the instrumentation for the piece, I have used the interaction between non-amplified instruments and an amplified, electric instrument (the electric guitar) as a metaphor for the relationship between humans and technology. The relationship between the guitar and the rest of the ensemble is therefore important as the piece unfolds. The work explores a number of questions: while technology is, in many different ways, a useful tool for humans, in what ways does technology control how we do things and limit decisions that we make? How has the use of technology affected our social habits and the way that we interact with each other? Most importantly, how has our use of technology altered our consciousness and the way that we perceive the world around us? Commissioned by: Ensemble Contemporain de Montréal+
