Labyrinthus MadE. Whenever I close my eyes these past few days, I see geometric shapes coming at me, accompanied by apocalyptic, weeping duduk sounds.

I imagined the production process would be a meditative and spiritual journey through the labyrinths of the mind — like assembling a Tibetan Vajrayana mandala of some sort. The last two weeks, however, turned out to be nonstop 24/7 overnight renderings and constant tweaking on both of my machines.

Nature renders mesmerizing geometric symmetry — hexagonal prisms, stellar and sectored plates, stellar dendrites, capped columns, 12-sided snowflakes, radiating dendrites, and other morphological types. Individual snowflakes are nearly unique in structure.

While some people grow ice crystal snowflakes by processing water particles in cold temperatures, I grow mine by processing digital particles with sound. My goal was to generate visual soundscapes of never-repeating patterns, forms, and colors in motion.
