All sounds for this composition originate from a physical model of a stiff plate with 6 differently tuned strings attached to it. Throughout the piece the plate is excited using different synthetically generated excitation signals consisting of filtered single sample impulses and filtered noise. The different sounds are obtained by picking up the vibrations of the model on different locations along the plate and the strings.

All sound synthesis and sequencing done in SuperCollider (with a little help from Python for all the numerical maths stuff).
