Chaotic Lucidity is concerned with patterns and chaos in a number of contexts connected with archetypal levels of physical existence. It is about unity and time, about energy transformations and exchange, complexity and unpredictability contained in something simple. At the same time it is about the structuring of information. We understand the meaning of words like, for example, air or sand as simple concepts in terms of a few characteristic properties, but we can actually have infinite amounts of information about them. Simple concepts are normally standing for zillions of individual shapes made by complex interactions and they trigger individual images, thoughts and emotions when they are being experienced. Everything around us can be seen as structured like that and the way we think, communicate and create takes some really involved information structuring processes for granted. Chaotic Lucidity is a piece about free association.

With simple sounds and natural energy trajectories I created a sonic template for creative imagination. Simultaneously, I shaped or distilled very complex sounds into simple forms out of which, in a cycle, they develop into complexity. At certain points in the piece sonic units are being excited by some kind of energy being violently released or being pumped into the system. We can then follow the sonic particles and landscapes cascading through degrees of order and types of organisation. A noise mass develops into a crystal melody that becomes a landscape collapsing to a pulse…A melody emerges and transforms into another landscape that becomes gradually rhythmical and intense, finally breaking as a wave on sand…
