Pixel Springtail Promenade

This work is part of an 8-16 channel cycle called the "Nano-Cosmos". A tribute to microorganisms and little arthropods. This work is an exploration of the "parasite" notion in music through study of granular synthesis, glitch, micro-editing, random sound inlays and duality between "texture-carried" structures ("individuals are subsumed in a collective activity") and "texture-setting" texture ("basic framework within which individual gestures act") from Smalley's spectromorphology approach. Collembolae (Springtails) are small arthropods, some of them have a pixel size. They travel through "windows" from the kitchen to the jungle.
