~90

I am incapable of playing a steady rhythm. This piece exploits this deficiency and helps to smooth the pulse through multiplication. I recorded around 90 takes at around 90 bpm, using stuff found lying around and combining the takes to create audio visual textures in which the sound and the image are quite literally one. There is no audio processing save the fades that are mirrored in the visuals.

~90 explores an unfortunate tendency to drift out of time. After making around 90 recordings while hitting various things at a rate of about 3 times every 2 seconds, I edited the recordings into layered textures. The phasing is me trying and failing to play in time.
