About the work

This iteration of Micropraxis was composed with the assistance of AI image generation. By providing an image-generation system with selected search terms—including music notation—a series of abstract shapes was produced. I progressively simplified and abstracted the prompts until the resulting images hinted at notation while remaining visually ambiguous.

These images were then engraved and converted into a score. Rather than prescribing individual pitches, the notation functions as a visual density map. The work is interpreted as a continuously transforming cluster chord whose movement, texture, and internal activity are shaped by the changing density of the notation.

The generated images hint at notation while remaining abstract, shaping a continuously transforming cluster chord.
