The drone and ambient setup titled STATES is based on 'self-balancing' properties of sound within a complex system. The setup is performed for some time to bring the system into a state, after which the system is left to its own devices for a while. During a concert, STATES will balance between being controlled and letting things happen independently and allowing the complex structures to collapse into their own states of being. To let go of the steering wheel.

STATES was developed at STEIM and BEK.
