Title

All the little spots in its Geography

Description

The majority of ""All the little spots in its Geography"" is, with a few exceptions, formed to create one large, constantly evolving drone. All electronics are made in SuperCollider and are either produced by DSP or built from sine tones (deployed in small clusters to produce acoustic beatings or in large, granulated pitch arrays to produce difference tones and other otoacoustic emissions). The practice of listening is emphasized throughout the piece to construct a feedback loop (both symbolic and literal) between instrumental output and aural input. Other otoacoustic emissions and phenomena, such as acoustic beatings and difference tones, are emphasized to openly explore the possibilities, boundaries, ambiguities, tensions, and otherwise otherworldly conditions of their production. ""All the little spots in its Geography"" aims to collapse the boundary between instruments and ears.
