Polytree is composed through extensive use of waveshaping processes. It focuses on using composed waveforms for movements in time and formal structures that emerge from lower-level synthesis methods. The majority of the sound material used in the piece was created through experiments with bilateral folding (waveshaping) that is being frequency modulated through audible (high) frequencies. 

Designed as iterative, the digital components that constitute ‘Polytree’, can be recomposed while they run. The importance is not where an ‘intelligence’ takes place but rather how it emerges through an exchange with any surrounding influence. A shared responsibility is favored here, where it is often unclear whether manual action or automated algorithms are behind the perceived activities.
