Deconstruction was composed during the first lockdown in Spring 2020. The way our interpersonal relationships and networks have been deconstructed and transformed since the pandemic began was an essential inspiration for the piece. I have monitored how the virus was spreading, as the few pathways in its network gradually became impossible to trace. I wanted to capture the exponentially rising infection rates as dynamic, explosive gestures, which ultimately relax into more transparent textures, as the “wave” sweeps through my metaphorical Earth. Both visuals and sound is made in Max MSP. The piece exists in stereo and multichannel/ multiscreen versions.
