Cyclical Entrainment
This composition is based on the very simple geometric motion of the carousel: a circular shape with acceleration and deceleration. The circle is translated into sine waves, which undergo transformations of “endless” acceleration (Risset glissandos). These create the illusion of endlessly rising sound, which I hope will give the rider/listener a modified perceptual experience.
