Rhizome | Simultaneous Opposites #57: Making Room

I have been developing and using the Simultaneous Opposites engine since late 2008. This is a file I generated with it in December 2010.

This 10-minute piece is in two parts: a new Simultaneous Opposites traversal titled "The Maid", and an HD document of the making of "The Maid", shot in the room where I made it.

I have been developing and using the Simultaneous Opposites engine since late 2008. This is a file I generated with it in December 2010.

This 10-minute piece is in two parts: a new Simultaneous Opposites traversal titled "The Maid", and an HD document of the making of "The Maid", shot in the room where I made it.

Audio for the Video is what I heard through the headphones during my traversal; the audio in the second half contains more of the sound of the room.

Unseen are audio modules: A Roland GR-33 synth, Mackie mixer, Edirol MIDI box, and a Boomerang looper.
