Collision (1996), 3m00s

commission: empreintes DIGITALes

Using a computer program called SuperCollider I was able to granulize the three ‘given’ sounds. I also used water sounds for the beginning and one singing bowl sound for the end. The piece opens up like The Big Bang. The particles produced from this bang form rhythms gesturing the movements of atoms colliding into one another creating patterns. As these patterns evolve the intensity builds in the piece to a crescendo. Finally, we hear the sounds that conceived this piece.

This work was produced with the assistance of the Media Arts Section of the Canada Council for the Arts.
