Video production, 2019

Video production for Arda Saraçoğlu/Rasa’s final project for COMD527 Creative Sound Design and Synthesis.

“Algorithmic Botany. Humanity has evolved past a point of no return. The convenience offered has its downsides, a loss of meaning and connection with our roots. Information isn’t cumulative, sacred wisdom gained by our ancestors have left its place to noise.

Algorithmic Botany is an ode to our origin, to simpler and more meaningful times. It is filled with samples from nature, lush textures, ambient synths, fast percussive elements and polyrhythms conveying the calmness of nature in its own thrilling way. It is meant to explore the truths offered by nature itself. The glorious yet terrifying ebb and flow of the inherent balance present in every living creature and systems created by them. An underdog triumphing against all odds. It is a personal way of worshipping a forgotten deity and finding purpose.

God is math. God is probability. God is an algorithm.”
