decomposer

Decomposer is a part of my Catabolic series, a musical and visual arts experience. Both the song and the music are a product of machine learning. The music is hypnotic and ambient, transporting the listener to an altered state while the visual aspect invites viewers to get lost in the stream of images breaking down before their eyes. Combining the sensory elements of sound and sight in one experience, Decomposer immerses the viewer so fully that one feels emotionally present, but physically distant.
