Livecoding: Out of this world (2024-02)


This generative ambient piece is a direct sonic meditation on the philosophy of Alan Watts, specifically his idea that "you don't come into this world, but you come out of this world."

The music explores this core concept of non-duality, where the listener is immersed in a continuous, evolving process rather than a static environment. Slow, swirling textures and deep, resonant frequencies build an auditory analogy for the universe unfolding. Instead of a beginning or an end, the piece offers a continuous flow, inviting you to recognize your own inseparable connection to the whole.

For the most complete and introspective experience, listening with high-quality headphones is strongly recommended!
