Χιονοπόλεμος.
Throwing Snow’s fourth album is the audiovisually-augmented Dragons, a
work that occupies the space between science and ancestral wisdom. It
links music back to its prehistoric capacity for transmitting knowledge
to new technology that can untangle the complexity of the contemporary
world. Dragons’ ten tracks of heavy primal rhythmic productions
incorporate the physicality of acoustic sources, from ancient ritual
instruments to modern drum kit, and each track is accompanied by visuals
generated by a neural network.
Throwing Snow, aka Ross Tones developed Dragons’ neural network with
artist, designer and technologist Matt Woodham. The structures and
changes in Tones’ music trigger corresponding changes in accompanying
moving images, which combine life in three scales, from microscopic
views of rocks to large scale maps. “Everything that happens musically
triggers the algorithm to do something,” Tones explains. “This isn’t
controlled or predictable, and the music becomes an instruction for the
algorithm to make its own decisions about datasets, images, speed,
movement and other manipulations.”
