Black Allegheny by Evan X. Merz
Black Allegheny is a meditation on the Allegheny Mountains in the winter. The Allegheny Mountains are a range in the Appalachian Mountains that runs through West Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. This piece was written with a vision of the rolling, snow-covered Alleghenies in the Pittsburgh area.
Black Allegheny was assembled using swarm processes. For each section of the piece, sounds were organized on cartesian graphs. Then a virtual swarm was allowed to walk over each graph, triggering sounds as it crawled around.
