Difference Machine is a live immersive performance by Dan Stern, blending saxophone, clarinet, keyboard, percussion, and algorithms in polyphonic improvisation.  Drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s concepts of difference and repetition, the performance sets up encounters with sonic time and space as sites of transformation.  Rhizomatic structures enfold change in all directions, prompting a question in sound: who do you hear?
