Program Notes:
“A journey of electronic sound through the rational description of space: a world as represented by numbers. Composition of curves, surfaces and volumes is in a state of constant flux that modulates the dynamic landscape of kinetic vectors and spatial configuration.The work inspired by writings of Otto Rössler, a physicist recognized for his work in chaos research, who suggests the discipline of Endophysics that explains our world of space-time as an operational interface to a larger reality beyond the capability of human consciousness.
“IF” is a composition of “information objects”, parametric representations of algorithmically generated geometric shapes. The piece explores the notion of space as a metaphor for organization of information by way of tempo-spatial arrangement and layering of complex parametric constellations. Temporal evolution is expressed as motion: transformation of parametric data in mathematical space.
IF was composed at the Institute of Sonology as part of the research initiative “Information Structures for Organization of Sonic Events”. Paper available online at:

The piece was realized with QuantaSonic composition environment (http://quantasonic.info), developed by Voldemars Johansons and Tom Tlalim.”
