Absolutely Nothing combines improvisational and algorithmic approaches
to musical composition. Created entirely in SuperCollider, the sounds
used in this piece attempt to create a contrast between concrete,
organic and synthetic textures. Dynamic percussive and noise based
sounds are contrasted with clearly tonal content vacillating between the
melancholic and optimistic. The piece draws upon a range of sounds and
textures common to both avant-garde and exploratory forms of popular
electronic music.
