about

Upon first listening to this piece you’ll feel the sentience of the disembodied sonic fragments– created through various granular synthesis techniques using insect sounds and bird calls– floating through space and time. Long stretching sounds are interrupted by shorter blips (emulating particles and fields). We settle into familiarity only to have it shift on a dime and devolve into a new sonic landscape. But through the interaction of these fragments in a fluid, imaginary world, this piece finds unity in audial chaos and supersonic discovery.

The genesis of this piece came from learning of the LHSC (Large Hadron Super Collider), a pivotal creation in nuclear research that sheds light on the more predominant "dark energy," or the Higgs Boson particle, which is causing the universe's expansion to accelerate. Without the Higgs field there would be no reality. I wanted to create a piece that allows composed sounds to blossom into polyphonic activity the same way two protons collide in the LHSC– discovering known and unknown particles that explain the existence of reality.
