Sidenote (still in Haukijärvi but digressing)
Once in a while, something falls into my perception that I want to share.

Post 05 from Haukijärvi Finland – Arteles
Since starting to work with sound, I have always been projecting some kind of imagery on the wall in front of me for inspiration; usually it has been Andrei Tarkovsy’s “Stalker”, the most visually stimulating film for me.
What I have realized during my experience at Arteles is this is actually part of my process. I have been developing sound and video simultaneously as I work. The sound is not at all a “soundtrack” for the video or the video a “imagetrack” for the sound. It is something else entirely. Together they seem to create a mindscape of sorts; a way to explore experience and the persistence of memory. Merci Marcel Proust! Once I spend a bit of time with performing to these images I will add a version with sound.

Some work in progress.
I am teaching myself the Processing programming environment… for the third time and trying hard not to get discouraged this time. And I am not, I think I finally am getting a sense of how programming can be integrated into my creativity and imagination.
The program that created this video and sound piece is using a poetic language to determine variables; silence, awareness and existence are variables given some randomness within certain values. These values then enter into how and where objects appear.

When a sound is recorded does it fold in on itself?
