the biophony project

Terramorphic Expanse

Inspired by a card from a certain ubiquitous fantasy card game, Terramorphic Expanse is a modular open-score roadmap through diverging and gathering sonic ideas. Music cells represent the five elemental biomes – plains, islands, swamp, mountain, and forest – and performers choose their own paths and pacing through the expanse, resulting in a continuously evolving texture, different every time, that evokes a vast fantasy biome in a state of magical flux.
