Mitosis is a fixed-media electroacoustic composition that employs 1-bit synthesizers in conjunction with cellular automata (CA) to generate sound. The CA drive the sonic output, producing a diverse range of textures—from noisy and buzzy to sharp clicks—varying between sustained tones and rhythmic pulses aligned with each generational update of the automata. In some cases, pitch variation occurs with each generation. These sonic behaviors were analyzed and categorized, and the synthesizers were orchestrated to form a series of explosive gestures layered over a pulsed, rhythmic foundation.
