The Drum Machine

"A struggling music producer sells his soul to a 1970s drum machine."

— Summary of a short film by Kevin Ignatius, "Hook Man."

The music producer pawns his current drum device 
and acquires a demonic 1970s machine.


Artistic symbolism —

The 16-pad device at left may be viewed by enthusiasts of ekphrasis
as a Galois tesseract, and the machine at right as the voice of
Hal Foster, an art theorist who graduated from Princeton in 1977.

For an example of Foster's prose style, see
the current London Review of Books.
