for loudspeakers and lights

I once tried to recover deleted and corrupted files from my hard drive and ended up with 18,630 unlabeled soundfiles. These files form a chaotic mix of samples from older projects, my own recordings, soundfiles from other programs I had on my computer, and binary noise. A fraction of this vast, pretty much random collection of sounds became the sonic foundation for this piece. By selecting some of my favorite sample combinations, I arrived at this strange blend of polished jingles and a noisy aesthetic. While the former could be considered kitschy, it is anchored by the latter and my current interest in strict rhythmic progressions. These contrasts create an intriguing dynamic throughout the piece.
