Join Extensions’ initial sounds were created using several methods of digital synthesis, the results often subjected to further abstractions within the computer.
Parts of the work were generated from chaotic and improvised operations; at other points absolute compositional choices were made to realign or derail the compositional flow.
These methods can be seen to represent the macro and micro approach to the works overall design. Micro composition and synthesis informing the macro structures which are themselves subjected to further distortions on both micro and macro levels, leading to continuous cycles of transformation.
Join Extensions catalogues and illustrates specific stages in the development and abstraction of these forms. The sections which were committed to disc represent the ongoing process of perpetual configuration, disfiguration and reconfiguration.
