What kind of music are humans able to make in a mechanized age? How do we respond to the sounds of our industrialized world, and is it possible to escape these sounds? This program includes responses to mechanical sounds, an attempt to re-invest in the sounds of the human body, a subsequent descent to hell, and finally a return to nature, with Stockhausen's Sternklang.
