This recording is a collection of computer music works created in 1995. Each of the works is concerned with the algorithmic definition of musical structures; largely through the use of stochastic methods – utilizing various probabilistic means to create musical materials and textures.

At the same time, the concept of these works in sound and “instrumentation” is as simulacra of chamber and orchestral ensembles. The appearance of instrumental timbre throughout is in the acousmatic tradition – transformations vary in degree of removal from source identification.

Amorphia depends to a large extent on string timbre, while the short work Stochos I is entirely created using frequency modulation synthesis techniques. Wind in Trees (an homage to composer Joji Yuasa) focuses on percussion, woodwind and synthetic timbres and is the major work of the disc at over 32 minutes in duration. Remnant and Stochos II round out the collection.

“Amorphia is one of the finest sets of computer ambience available. Robert has the unique ability to combine his intellectual prowess with his spiritual and emotional creativity. This is an important adventure and a milestone in modern music!” - Jim Brenholts
