This is one of my favorite tracks from the forthcoming Emergence album - Cyclic.

We are surrounded by cycles, in our days, seasons, behaviours, growth and decay, birth and death, cell cycles, maddening cyclic thought processes and obsessive repetition, the cycles in neural networks which form the basis of our awareness, the repetition of almost all things, and their impermanence.

This idea is captured musically with a simple arpeggiating riff and looped musical structure that only builds without deviating from it’s repetition. And a visualisation of the complexity that can arise from nested cycles of different forms, each interacting with all others.
Craig (Numbercult) specialises in building generative visual systems which are programmed to react to the different elements of the track, as well as being controlled live. I asked him if he could create a system full of different cycles, each mapped to the different audio elements, many of which are layered in the piece of music, and in parallel, in the video.

The result is this final live rendition of Cyclic, with all of it’s complex interlinking geometries representing the complex web of interacting cycles in the real world. I love how it sometimes seems to create 3-dimensional objects and recognisable forms, in amongst the chaos!

The Emergence story as a whole visualises natural laws and their emergent properties of the observable universe and it’s timeline through planets, life, humans and society. This particular chapter of the story is an abstracted visualisation and sonification of the importance of cycles in this system. You'll be able to see it all at the Emergence shows coming up.
