Into the Air

Into the Air explores the ephemeral nature of sound and the paradox of being. Inspired in part by Jorge Luis Borges' Everything and Nothing, the 80-minute piece embodies both presence and absence, holding within it the traces of countless influences while remaining transient and unimaginable; idiosyncratic and universal. The piece fuses Parmegiani's De Natura Sonorum with Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 32 through custom algorithms written in the audio programming language, SuperCollider.
