Moiré is the soundtrack for Jordan Belson’s 2001 video Bardo. It also appears on Asphodel label’s Swarm of Drones CD set. Most of the source materials are derived from natural sounds that are highly processed using extensive layering, resonant filters, equalization and SoundHack algorithms, resulting in a complete disassociation from their origins. Spatial location and modulation are of primary concern.
