An exercise in making a lot out of a little: the bass drum and hi-hat that form the backbone of electronic dance music are taken as basic materials and extensively varied and developed, reforming into irregular clusters of pulses or continuous streams of sound. ‘Performances’ of the piece are generated by custom-coded software; each is slightly different. This stereo version is intended for headphone listening. Download it to keep via bandcamp (link below), or purchase the full 5.1 surround recording at immersiveaudioalbum.com
