Primordia for two-channel digital media (2002)

MP3 Player may take a minute to load

Primordia explores the idea of a "chain-reaction". Simple events unfold and in turn, set off or trigger new, more developed events until the complexity causes the music to self-destruct only to be reborn in ever-changing manifestations. The sounds in the piece were created using a Kurzweil K2000 synthesizer, a 1978 Korg MS-20 analog synthesizer, and two software-based synthesizers: Absynth and Metasynth. The piece was realized in Digidesign's ProTools.
