Tessellation is a study on intricacy and seamless interlocking of patterns, much akin to the geometric transformations of a tessellation. The thematic structure of the piece is deeply intertwined with the concept of sound layering and repetitive loops. Each instrument functions as an individual entity, echoing autonomous layers that are built upon one another in the soundscape. The unique timbres of the different percussion instruments lend an otherworldly, mechanistic quality to the music, forging an auditory landscape that feels both strangely familiar and starkly alien. They harmoniously merge to form a unified pulsating organism of sound, much like a metallic alien machine that represents the whole. The various rhythmic motives of the piece act as ‘shapes’ in the musical tessellation. These are passed around, expanded, and contracted, interacting in unpredictable ways, generating a tapestry of sound that is constantly morphing yet perpetually grounded in the original motif. Through this, it takes the listener to a space where rhythm, timbre, and pattern intersect, constantly evolving yet always looping back onto itself.
