In the Machine represents a musical journey inside a machine. Each time the piece is performed, this journey is different according to the performer's choices. Set in 3/4 time, the work begins using only percussion and vocal techniques. Instruments are added and material changed throughout to create several musical layers and textures. Midway through the piece, the machine shifts into high gear. The machine runs smoothly until a musical “ratchet” is thrown in and the machine falls apart.
