Tech:
Each nxH is a livecode improvisation from the blank screen with the help of some presets such as classes and code snippets.
Each function is pseudorandom, thus, each recompilation produces sound a little different but preserves the same high-level structure.
The aim is to find a algorithmic compromise between novelty and repetition.
Aesthetics:
Primarily, my interest is to direct the focus of attention only on the sound. Distractions such as the structure, analogies, and so on. would go undetected.
The ”drone’ ‘is ideal for this task, as the harmony and rhythm (in the classical sense) are secondary or nonexistent.
The main hypothesis (hence the experimental label) is that careful listening, focusing on a single point, contributes to the dissolution of the flow of thought we call consciousness and that is the basis of ego as a source of suffering.
