By using the computer program SuperCollider artists Simon Martin and Chris Tosic have collaborated on a sound work that unfolds through chance operations on the boundaries between sound and silence, structure and dissolution. 

A large collection of found samples taken from the inside of a piano and using non-traditional extended techniques is fed into a ‘patch’ on the computer. Nicknamed SuperLoop this patch will play back the sounds in an ever evolving composition. 

Each time the work is initiated the sounds will combine into a new arrangement creating endless clusters and tonal shifts, never the same combination twice.

Drawing on the legacies of aleatoric composition from Cage through to contemporary experimental music this piece marks the first collaboration between the two artists.
