Inersis
by Tef Dara
This is a recording from Iners is, a real-time audiovisual composition that takes place in a virtual world called ‘Obfuscated Konkat’. Iners is takes place in a small subset of this procedurally generated world, and the experience involves exploring abstract audiovisual spaces. Players gather and craft audiovisual entities using a game-like system, connecting musical units. They then try to play these units rhythmically against an adaptive system.
