Swarm Theory

notes on my ongoing interest in envelopes, particles, and sonic imaging: a compositional process
-Stark difference between particle-theory/random motion
vs
spontaneous outflow of an organic shape in motion, as in a Picasso pen drawing.
This is rather precise in it’s shape
===============
particle accelerations
globules
dissolution theory
use MIDI note numbers for ranges of each instrument
random theory
particles are each instrument
the “skin” around the outside of each mass could be separate
organic flow of the whole entity through time: 
Zero Gravity Water Bubble

Bubbles and Smoke
This is a good representation of dissolution

Some More Organic Shapes and Swarms:

That combination of surface waves and body waves is like a melodic contour surrounding the contents of the envelope.
The contents or body waves are variable densities between the “skin” or melodic contours.
They can be agitated, or slow.

  1. I thought the swarming of fish and maybe birds was a defense mechanism. The cluster makes the swarm seem like a large impenetrable object. That fish, for example do this while sleeping or resting. Is this not so?
