We find ourselves drifting in and out of consciousness as a lullaby plays, but the agitated beat of a clock keeps us awake. In this musical context, Synchronous: Entropy evokes the interplay between structured timing and unpredictable elements within a performance or composition.
A live clock in this piece symbolizes the static, mechanical accuracy of a metronome, while the piano and vibraphone embody a phenomenon that is often described as stochastic synchronization or emergent synchrony; something drifting out of sync due to entropy, only to briefly realign over time as the lullaby’s path becomes more clear.
