Clockwise (2021) is a generative and experimental audiovisual piece that explores the concept of space-time, Zeno’s paradoxes related to the infinite subdivision of the units of measurement of space and time (dichotomy and arrow paradoxes), and their experimental abstract audiovisual representations.

It was a wonderful opportunity to explore recursion programming technique in animated visual outputs, and concretelly in diferent polygon subdivision algorithms. It was a nostalgic back to Maths and Technical Drawing lessons in school, remembering how to draw regular polygons, and calculate centroids, intersections, bisections and many other geometric concepts.

The project started during an experimental studio session with composer/producer Daniele Carmosino and composer/pianist Mark Aanderud. During the session they modified the piano adding a layer of tissue paper between the piano hammers and the strings, creating a beautiful percussive crispy sound that inspired a very rhythmic improvisation by Mark. That was the base on which Daniele created the rest of the track, recording an opera singer and live horns and manipulating the sound through analogue gear. The track was then mixed and mastered by Juan Ribes at Ribes Mastering.
