Hope for Nothingness as Something
*75 copies limited edition* A two-chapter suite for modular & FM synth, wind & string instruments, electronics, sound objects and field recordings. The work is structured as a two-chapter descent from concrete score to analog & digital abstraction.

The initial components are reduced to "digital dust” — meaningless data fragments — then recombined algorith…
