This piece has it's origins in algorithms implemented by Mr. Knott and Kevorkian. Mr. Knott recalls that he was "definitely using a-chaos lib objects, but there was another couple of patches i used that i think were based on random and drunk - simple probability and brownian motion" All Algorithms were created in Max MSP and fed to a Yamaha Mini Upright Piano and Elektron Machine Drum over midi. Initial sound recordings were made on the 22/23rd of August 2011 in the University Of Limerick Computer Science Department. The Piano was mic'd with a Neumann U87 and both were fed to a Pro Tools HD rig. These files sat on my hard drive for a year until I heard them recently and decided to make a Concrete/Acousmatic piece from them. I also used Richard Devines excellent recording of the Teufelsberg Listening Station in Berlin, along with guitar parts I played at the same session as the piano recordings
