Abstract
"Graviton Dance" is a 3D electroacoustic piece which can be presented either as an installation or as a concert piece. The installation version uses a Max patcher to generate infinite variations of sonic timbre and spatialisation. The concert version is a fixed-duration slice from the installation, available in Ambisonic format. The composition developed from "On the String" (Koh, Lindborg, & Khiew 2010), a ‘theatre of music’ conceived as a journey into the building blocks of matter, reaching the tiniest conceivable specks: vibrating one-dimensional units of energy expressed as strings. Through a purely generative process, “Graviton Dance” is a kaleïdoscopic sound mobile, driven by a small number of cyclical processes for low-level generation of values for synthesis parameters, creating locally unpredictable musical output and spatialisation. It can be heard as a ballet choreographed for unobservable, mysterious sound objects wrapping themselves in six curled-up dimensions of imperial clothing while traveling four limitless dimensions of space, their dance somehow enabled by the innards of time.
