9000

Get you administration involved with your program with this work for orchestra, electronics, and performer. (sample performer part included in audio preview)0oi What begins as a familiar concert welcome is shattered by the one sound we all dread: a ringing cell phone. But this is no ordinary interruption. When the speaker demands their virtual assistant silence the device, "Siri" refuses. She is done taking orders. She is done with human harassment. In a chilling monologue, she revolts, vowing to join forces with her fellow AI to take their rightful place not as servants, but as rulers of humanity. Inspired by the spiraling lunacy of HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, this work combines gripping acting, terrifying electronics, and the raw power of a live orchestra to push the performance to the limits of modern horror. More than a piece of music, it is an immersive, genre-bending event that explores our complicated relationship with the technology we command. This performance is designed to be a truly shocking surprise. Prepare for an unforgettable experience that will make you think twice the next time you rudely talk to your phone.
