Crystal Universe is an audio-visual work for 16 speaker array* that uses time-lapse to explore the limits of our perception and the evolution of complexity.
It invites it’s audience to consider the various shapes and textures generated during the crystal growth process, rewarding them with a vibrant, colorful display. Scored with 1970s modular synthesizers, listeners become immersed in a warm sonic ecosystem, pulsating with life, and as dazzling and detailed as the visual material which inspired it.
*The stereo excerpt here does not give the full sense of the work, which was composed and designed to be experienced through 16 speakers.
