This is an electro-acoustic piece based on metal and stone as the core material. The work is inspired by Isa Genzken's artwork 'World Receiver', which is a reference to the 'way humans relate to the world' and the process of decay, and is written through an information search. The piece focuses on the gradual degradation of complex signals and electromagnetic reflections into raw stone and metal representations. The degradation and development of sound is carried out in terms of the nature of matter.
In the C section the piece is mainly based on the ionisation of the original metal and stone material, using the GRUANULATOR II sampler from MAX FOR LIVE to restructure the sound. PITCH changes were made using AUTOTUNA. The C section further highlights the material changes to fully reproduce the original timbral qualities of stone and metal and to emphasise their characteristic frequency range through EQ gain.
The structure of the work is divided into three sections, composed in the form of C-B-A, which degrade from the orderly order born from the original material to the disorderly logic and then to the original rhythm solidified by the original material. This is interspersed with OH absorption peaks, which are presented in an electro-acoustic format.
The first section is based on the original material, which is transformed into an electronic signal, widening the frequency range and thickness to the greatest extent possible, while the second section begins to gradually decay the electronic signal produced, and the third section is composed mainly from the original material.

这是一首以金属及石材为核心素材所制作的电子声学音乐作品。作品的灵感来源于Isa Genzken的艺术作品《World Receiver》,以此艺术作品的“人类与世界产生联系的方式”联想至衰减的过程,并通过信息查询,以衰减的过程进行作品书写。这首作品主要讲述了复杂的信号与电磁反映渐渐退化为原始的石材与金属表现。从物质的本质上进行声音的退化与发展。
作品在C段主要采用了对于金属与石材的原始素材进行离子化变形,采用了MAX FOR LIVE中的GRUANULATOR II 采样器,进行声音重组。并使用AUTOTUNA进行PITCH变化。让作品富有层次,在B段中减去复杂的失真处理,体现出声音的原始质感。C段中进一步凸显出材料变化完全再现了石材与金属的本来音色特质并通过EQ增益强调了其特征的频段。
作品结构分成三段,以C-B-A的形式进行创作,从原始素材所诞生的有序秩序从而进行衰减退化至无序逻辑再而是原始素材所固化的原始节奏。其中穿插OH吸收峰,以电子声学的形式去展现。
第一段以原始素材为基础,将原始素材转化为电子信号,最大程度上拉宽了频段与厚度,第二段开始逐步将所制的电子信号素材逐渐衰退,第三段则以原始素材为主进行创作。
