"The Awesome Machinery Of Nature" is an abstract film, an experimental simulation and computational composition that celebrates the interconnectedness of all living and non-living things across many scales of time and space – from the interactions of sub-atomic particles and oscillations in the quantum fields that permeate space-time; to the formation of matter and stars; to the emergence and evolution of life from inanimate matter, and the cosmic webs that connect us all.



The work is an evolution of my “Simple Harmonic Motion” series – a series of works that investigate the emergence of complex behaviour through the interaction of fundamental entities driven by very simple rules. This new work, builds upon this to celebrate The Awesome Machinery of Nature.



Commissioned by the Centre for Practice & Research in Science & Music (PRiSM) at the Royal Northern College of Music.
