heteronomy is the condition of all things
<p>This new work was created for Lateral Addition between March – June 2021 in Berlin using the SuperCollider audio synthesis programming environment, then edited in a timeline. The source is a synthesized ‘siren’ sound, which was recorded out and loaded into nuPg (New Pulsar Generator*); following manipulation of the sound file, the recorded output was then loaded into a custom-coded granular synthesis instrument for further transformation before finally entering the timeline. All material in the composition was generated from a single audio file.</p> <p>On the macro-compositional level, <i>heteronomy is the condition of all things</i> presents alternations of sections and materials in an evolving manner, working with time proportions and repetition to both organise a sense of rhythm and to support processes of aural definition and retention, and more broadly to align with the artists’ pursuits into understanding the extent to which external forces create our notions of self.</p>
