Taking inspiration from computer graphics, mathematical chaos theories and modern techno culture, Zavoloka & Kotra try to explore the possibilities of stochastic sound, rhythmic probabilities through context sensitive parametric compositions. Graftal is the sound of a constant change, whose behavior is intrinsically non-deterministic for listeners, partly sporadic and not intermittent. Risk. The shape of the sounds has been defined by a large number of rhythmic phrases together with a set of special production rules, which created axioms. These axioms were the sources of Zavoloka & Kotra’s quasi-random and highly complex sound structures.
