The Machine is an algorithmic and stochastic computer program which creates a constantly varying stream of audio events, forming some sort of abstract industrial soundscape. The original version has been constructed to work in a half dome ambisonics environment and with a Yamaha Disklavier. It had its premiere at the Stanford University Bing Concert Hall Studio on May 28 2013. This version is scaled down to stereo and the piano is replaced by samples.
