Multiple Minds

‘Multiple Minds’ is an audio-visual performance that poses questions about the origins of the
creative mind behind the sonic behaviors and images that are produced. The instrument
that lies at the heart of the performance is based on three sawtooth oscillators that are cross
modulating each other. The recursive nature of this process is expressed through developing
patterns, shapeshifting timbres and fragile frequencies all generated from deterministic yet
unpredictable origins. Recursivity amplifies the slightest performative input to echo through
the instrument, affecting the sound in unforeseen ways. Minor changes of a single
parameter could start a chain reaction that completely readjusts sonic behaviors. The
combination of a broad sonic lexicon combined with unpredictability suggests that the
instrument can be interpreted as having its own form of agency, acting independently from
the intentions of the performer.
