<p>a confused apparatus of sequencers with variable degrees of randomization functioning in some variation of tandem -::each alleatorically progressing through respective possible steps, a range of values sometimes plucked, chance driven from a pool of possibilities, some drunkenly staggered through miscellaneous orderings of predetermined values, sometimes running a prescripted line in proper order</p> <p>& some degree of connectivity between each channel of data being output: – i.e. amplitude restrictions and allowances envelopes generated based on the data produced by one sequencer draped onto another but frequently swapped vice versa or onto some third or forth etc. element and back implying some correlative relation without definitive chain of causation</p> <p>conceptual choices for samples or synthesizer sound profiles are vague the impetus for this recent body of work has been to provide some form of self guided abstracted meditation for the listener and dip into school of ‘ambience’ articulated in some infinitely non repetitious scene-passing-window of slowly moving nightcar allowing a tap into and out of with ease;;-</p> <p>generally lately of the form of some thoroughly carved acapella vocalist processed into affected theatrics joined with some number of processed and relatively clean virtual synthesizers some found sounds some anachronistic digital instrument protocol equivalent to midi, soundfont, arguably more operable in max coming together hopefully cohesively into what intends to be a fragile mosaic of sound, tension between nearrhythms asymptotically dialoguing each other from as close a distance without convergence possible, some amorphous theoretical sculpture on the verge of collapse</p> <p>– RW</p>
