examines the theme of entropy by integrating electronic textures, acoustic resonance, and the use of extended string techniques with a backdrop of experimental video. These elements coalesce to form an evolving sonic and visual landscape that supports an original poem, which delves into entropy and erosion as intrinsic processes within the natural order of the universe and ourselves. This piece explores entropy not only as a scientific principle but as an experiential phenomenon—a meditation on the gradual breakdown of structure. It reflects how, often imperceptibly, the integrity of what once was whole disintegrates, becoming unrecognizable, only to be reconstituted in a cyclical dance of order and disorder, creation and erosion. Through this lens, entropy emerges as a continuous process of transformation and renewal.Echos
In silent drift, the stars unwind,
a dance of chaos, undefined.
From order's edge we slowly fade,
to dust and echoes softly frayed.
Once tight-knit threads of time untwine,
lost in the weave, no shape, no line.
The universe exhales a sigh,
as scattered moments wave goodbye.

This patch takes the live video feed from the computer’s camera moving video matrix data through different programmed video manipulations. The video below shows the string of videos in their own separate patches to get to the final output. The midi controller uses the top set of controls for specific video transitions written in the score.
This patch takes in live audio from the cello and buffers a 5 sec chunk. Algorithms randomize pitch and frequency, moving around a playable section of the buffer forward or reverse in a set time chunk in real time. This patch is hot the entire duration of the performance.
Clip launching program that takes in midi data from the midi controller for all the pre-recorded audio launching.
