mike's online thing exhibition

extinguish is a piece composed entirely of white noise processed through a digital mixer and filters. the piece explores the development of feelings throughout a meditative session, beginning with relative chaos and ending with focus and acceptance of that chaos. evoking a sense of movement, automated filters dominate the piece, with spatialized mixer-processed noise samples providing a backdrop. this piece uses the limitations presented by noise and filters to its advantage, sculpting a form by subtracting from chaos, the purest form of information. extinguish presents the idea that by moving with randomness, one may find a way to harness it.
