Arsider is not a conventional musical experience. Exposure is recommended only
for those prepared for extreme auditory environments, perceptual challenge, and
cognitive acceleration.
Arsider operates within a framework of accelerationist sound practice,
redefining performance as a real-time computational system. By exceeding
perceptual synchronization thresholds and denying stable repetition, the project
destabilizes predictive listening models and mnemonic consolidation. Sampling
functions as an adaptive process rather than referential citation, while error
is embedded as a structural condition. The listener is repositioned as a node
within an unstable feedback network, raising questions about agency, embodiment,
and cognition in algorithmically driven sonic environments.
Repetition is algorithmically denied. Apparent loops undergo continuous
micro-variation, disabling pattern recognition and destabilizing memory
formation. Sampling is treated as a volatile process rather than archival
quotation; sonic materials are decomposed as they are deployed, refusing fixity
or reference.
