JXOverdrive by materialssoundmusic published on 2017-03-17T16:44:48Z JXOverdrive is a composition constructed entirely using a computer-aided data-driven composition environment based on the sonification and remix of scientific data streams. The piece is scored for four bassoons, drum machine (or live drummer) and electronic effects. In the piece, the process of sonification of the data is used as the raw material in a compositional infrastructure based on MAX/MSP and MAX for Live: I use these data as a sculptor would use clay (the raw data) to mold any object or create any design. Here, all elements of the composition continually transform in a dialogue that ultimately reflects, in an artistic way, the quantum nature of reality and its transformations at microscopic scales.
