Fracture/Morphosis from Dysphonia by Joseph Norman
Fracture/Morphosis examines the relationship of structurally controlled variation amongst a group of gestural identities that undergo digitally induced transformation. Each instrument is provided a group of gestural models that are presented in unaltered form at the onset of the piece. The gestures are learned and then recognized by software. As the piece unfolds, the gestures are given a range of transformation on their constituent elements (e.g. pitch range, duration, timbre, etc...) wherein the cumulative effect of variation provides structural generation. Simultaneously, each gesture identity is recognized and then processed/transformed with chaotic algorithms in the course of their sonic diffusion.

Joseph Norman's music explores novel formal conceptions that involve organizations/transformations of multiple strata. These strata differentiate, recontextualize, and evolve towards individuated trajectories. He values music that is evocative of visceral reactions and represents sonic transformation.
