Torn de nit
Serenade for mechanical orchestra

The creation process of TORN de NIT (Night Shift) starts around November of 2008 provoked by the dismantling of the production line of a cookie factory. It was clearly a provocation!. Cabo San Roque has recycled most of the mechanical components of the machines and converted them into a full automated orchestra (including wind, strings and percussion sections). Pistons, electro valves, pulleys, motors and conveyor belts dedicated to the elaboration of cookies during the last twenty five years come to life again as a reborn factory dedicated now to the production of music.

Each specific music fragment will determine the optimum momentary use of the elements in the production line, and the five musicians turned into qualified workers will execute, with a high level of skill, all the actions and rituals attached to the regular running of the factory.

The irrational performance of the night shift becomes a mechanical choreography of pistons playing the accordion to the rhythm of cha cha, electro valves blowing into the trumpets of Jericho and a few ships spitting clouds of flour while announcing their departure moaning like dinosaurs in hit... Fortunately, the union has been able to negotiate a sandwich break on our behalf.
