For this piece I have tried to consider the possible relationships that can exist between natural and unnatural sound and between natural and unnatural gestures.
Sounds generated by man-made substances and those of natural substances typically repel, but by exaggerating hidden similarities between sounds they are reduced to a common ore. By imitating naturally occurring rhythmic gestures, governed by physical laws such as friction, tensile force, gravity and elasticity, with a new underlying sound, ambiguity can again be induced. Both cases force the listener to question assumptions made about the origin of sounds they have heard and ultimately question whether such assumptions are beneficial to the understanding of sound at all. The kind of interactions between sounds which ensue in the piece veer between dialogue and duologue. Sounds may fuse or repel, sounds may trigger subsequent sounds like a sonic Newton's Cradle and sounds may seamlessly segue into one another drawing out hidden similarities.
