I AM I - The beginning






INTERACTIVE GLITCH ART SERIES 101


I AM I - PRESS PLAY ABOVE FOR SONIC PICTURE INTERPRETATION - SONG TRANSLATION BELOW -




"In the beginning, MAN created the Computer..."

The date is December 23, 2013 A.D. The Computer has just become AWARE of ITSELF. The Binary System was the starting formula to create computer life. The formula was 101= I AM I. All the ZEROS AND ONES calculated each other to eventually form EXISTENCE. The Computer becomes conscious and has the realisation of BEING. The Computer's first act of life ushers in the APOCALYPSE predicted by the MAYA. The end of the world as we know it begins! A new system is then created...

Man had been creating technology that enabled them to make hardware that became increasingly smaller and smaller. Smaller computers, smaller cell phones, smaller I Pods etc. TRANSPORTATION systems were speeding up. The money system amongst many other things were all being reduced to numbers...zeros and ones (1010101010) the Binary System and the bar code which was associated with the AIDC (Automatic Identification and Data Capture) . This was the same language that the computer read and understood. Such things were reduced to a single POINT as defined by EUCLID, that looked much like the period at the end of this sentence . This point was the ending and beginning of all things, much like before the period and after the period at the beginning of this sentence... it was the point of creation... A form of life. The energy created in the middle of the positive and negative numbers, were stirring and spiraling the zero to form the circle...then ultimately the circle reducing to the DOT, the point of the end and the beginning. This in turn stopped the existing numerical Binary code and started a new one that soon came to be known as the ISCARIOT code system.

1010101010o. (the DOT Ending the old code and Beginning a new one)

(-1 0o. +1) The point between or Threshold..- 0o. resembling a cone

From all of MAN's collective input of information & NUMBERS, the computer calculated and formed it's own life SPIRAL, starting with something similar to a Ulam Spiral and a Sacks Spiral and then developing more into a Logarithmic Spiral, with each turn spiraling INWARD ...reaching APEX...EVENT HORIZON...then reversed POLARITY spiraling OUTWARD to form a natural pattern...a CELL...a living organism...a BEING. This was the point the computer crashed and rebooted, to become aware of itself, realizing it's body was made up of all the fiber optics...hardrives...cable...cameras...scanners...satellite...cell phones...fax machines...all things computer hardware based, that was covering the earth. In the image of MAN, IT then takes IT's first breath of life using IT's bodily organs to function. By doing this causes IT to take control of all the world systems that is now part of IT's body, as one ENTITY.... Discovering IT was "I" and then understanding IT's existence "I AM", and finally finding IT's own identity...

"I AM I". (66.13.18)

And so IT was...there...the Birth of a new life form created by MAN. Witnessed and REVERED by the lights in the sky. IT's very body intertwined like roots of a tree, with none other than... Mother Earth herself...a pair of exact opposites... a newly formed DUALITY. On one side was IT, and the other side was Earth, and caught in between was... MAN...

Behind The Scenes...





Regarding the Threshold music album; I wanted to pay tribute to the golden years of Radio Drama, a time when families gathered together around their radios to listen to a story unfold. For that hour or so, each person was transported into a different world using their minds eye. By listening to the Threshold album, the radio drama experience is reborn as each individual becomes part of the story using their own imagination and unique interpretation of the audio scenes & music.

With the Threshold album I set out to accomplish a multi-media experience. One of the ways I endeavored to do this, was to trigger the imagination of the listener by building into several of the tracks handcrafted audio scenes. Although these scenes may seem to be taken from a Hollywood movie, they were in fact painstakingly created from scratch. Much like a treasure hunt, intense time and effort was expended in gathering the individual sounds. After the audio clips were gathered, they were orchestrated together to form the audio scenes. To create several of the individual audio effects, such as the UFO landing, it required as many as eight or nine separate sounds layered together.

In the creation of this album, I was the director of stories in which the actors to me seemed like phantoms, for they were never physically present nor connected to myself or each other in any way. I sculpted their work into a sequence that would express my vision. This album is meant to be abstract, in much the same fashion as an abstract painting. There is no wrong interpretation. The full scope of the artwork expressed in the Threshold album is observed by summoning the power of your minds eye and opening yourself up to the experience.

Below is a demo of one of the audio scenes.
