iterate i. by offthesky

notes from offthesky ::

One of the beautiful aspects of nature, is it's persistent ability to seemingly never repeat itself. You can walk into a field and upon close inspection, notice no two plants will ever match. And the amount of new subtle variations that surface are always incessant and surprising with each season. It seems nature is always re-inventing itself; constantly evolving.

Upon researching the origins of recorded sound, I stumbled upon some information about some of the first mass produced recordings - the original master created was unable to withstand being copied more than 20-30 times before deteriorating. This meant that the musicians had to play the songs over and over to make many master copy recordings (there was no protools back then!) - therefore several similar variations of the same songs would be printed and released onto the public.

Just like photographers of years past would produce only so many copies or prints of a single negative to release, I wanted to take and synthesize all the above concepts in mind to produce my very own form of generative or fractal composition for this series.
