SoundMasses is a generative audio piece presented in a virtual reality environment.

​

Three "sound objects" perform endlessly using a library of hundreds of samples written by Kevin Anthony and recorded by Hannah Johnson and Stuart Wheeler. The samples are static compositions ranging from a few milliseconds to twelve seconds. 

​

Each sound object has distinct parameters which dictate its performance behaviors. A sound object may choose to be silent, to perform of its own volition, or to sing within the same aesthetic of another sound object. 

​

The result is emerging personalities that define each sound object. As the sound objects interact with each other, their choices and emotions become apparent.
