Project: NOY! Digital: A Train Line To An Ocean
A digital interpolation of an analogue performance by Tom Moore.
This work was commissioned by artist Tom Moore, and comprises half of NOY!, a project based upon the conceptual elements of an archetypal piece of euphoric trance.
Its analogue counterpart, Roses Don't Grow On A Sailor's Grave, is a fundamentally human operation: twenty participants carry looping cassette recorders around a board in accordance to a series of instructions, each playing a single bar of Paul Oakenfold's "Not Over Yet" at some point around the song's climactic moment.
"A Train Line To An Ocean" is a binary implementation of the same concept (using Processing), in which the listener is located within a digital plane and subjected to the simulated movement of the same twenty sound sources. In this space, there is no possibility of collision, confusion, misinterpretation or accident.
