As the ground moves by in the video, each visual texture or individual element on the screen is given its own unique 'voice' in the soundtrack. These voices were either synthesized 'from scratch' in Max/MSP or created via digital manipulation of patches from a MIDI tone generator. The video was shot live by the artist, and the whole project was assembled in Digital Performer.

Roughly the first half of the work can be seen here, highly compressed. The variety of textures increases in the second half.
