At the centre of the piece lies a ‘machine’ for making music. The machine in question is a combination of two different computer processes: one designed to mould large-scale formal harmonic structures out of raw sonic material, and the other to coax out of this inputted material something resembling musical phrasing. The idea is that whatever recorded sound is fed into such a machine will be turned, as if by magic, into music, and that a series of chords alternating with quasi-melodic fragments, gradually growing from a simple harmony to a complex noisy sound and back again, contains enough compositional intention/interference to call itself a piece.

By disrupting, suspending or reconfiguring perceptual habits, The Program’s merging of sensory stimuli may reveal instabilities in human perception. The piece provides a setup for experiencing and reflecting on the principle of multisensory integration, the interaction and interdependence of the different sensory modalities that our perception is based on.
