Collisions is an album but it is not a fixed piece of audio. The album is the curated collection of sonic events which are intended to interact with each other differently on every listen.
Drawing on traditions of indeterminate composition and musique concrète, Collisions organizes short recordings into three independently sequenced layers which are played back simultaneously. The order of events in each layer is randomized whenever the webpage is refreshed, resulting in a system that continually rearticulates the relationships between its constituent sounds. The number of possible realizations is greater than the estimated number of atoms in the universe.
Created by Andrew Huang in 2025/2026 as part of a residency at the GRM in Paris, France.
