Artist Statement:
“Endless Moments” is a real-time generative audiovisual work that features a multi-part generative audio system playing consonant synthesized sounds with a gentle rhythmic energy. The visual materials include algorithmically generated textures and shapes. These audio-visual elements are living entities in code that animate with a gentle pulsation, harmoniously synchronizing music and image. The ambient sonic land-scape draws inspiration from an eclectic array of cultural influences, fusing harmonies and rhythms from around the world. The work is part of a series of generative works coded in Javascript using SVG and WebAudio APIs to run in real time in web browsers. The digital generative works that Music NonStop create possess an inherent duality – a fusion of the fleeting and the timeless, and a sense of ongoing evolu-tion that remains rooted in familiarity. “Endless Moments”, enacts this temporal orientation at a technical level by locking the unfolding of audio and visual events to the current time as noted by the computing system on which it operates. Aesthetically, the musical motifs reverberate with echoes from the past, while abstract textured visual elements accompany the music’s journey through time.
