‘Lab Fly Dreams' (or "dreams of a jet-lagged fruit fly") is a collaboration of composer Yannis Kyriakides and visual artist HC Gilje. It is an hommage to the suffering fly, whose sleep patterns are studied by geneticists the world over in order to understand the workings of our own circadian rhythms. They are subjected to all manner of disorientating sleep environments, such as keeping them awake by tapping whenever the insects stays still for more than a minute. What do these flies dream of in their plastic containers? Originally written as a BBC commission for the Icebreaker Ensemble and Orkest de Volharding, this reduced version turns the piece inside out and is scored for solo percussion and 8 channel electronics
