Music theater series inspired by the Theater im Delphi: PYTHO #5 comes as a staged concert for music machines like automated accordion, automated percussions, kalimbas or glockenspiels and light. This evening is all about cycles and loops. Repetitive structures and pulsating lights transform the theater into a larger-than-life musical theater machine. The title LAZY SUSAN derives from the rotating table tops in predominantly Asian restaurants on which food can be moved.

Under diorama-like image sequences, the slowly evolving music alternates between noise-based textures, harmonic fields, and rhythmic repetitions. In doing so, gamut inc draw on Risset rhythms and algorithmic processes from their recent album SUM TO INFINITY. Between these layers, progressions are constructed to create a perpetual-motion-like, ever-evolving continuum that triggers ever-new cycles. Eternity can be seen as the last and longest cycle.

The ancient city of Delphi is still known today for its oracle - originally it was called PYTHO. In the music theater series of the same name, the retro-futuristic ensemble gamut inc develops staged concerts and music theater sketches in the Theater im Delphi in cooperation with guest artists. This historically charged location serves as a source of inspiration for PYTHO: its architecture, its spatial sound, its history as well as its functionality are reflected in the forms and contents of the sketchy productions.
