about

In 2008, at the age of 11, I created Googology Wiki on my parents' computer. "Googology" is a word for the study of large numbers and fast-growing functions, deriving from the 9-year-old Milton Sirotta's coinage of the term "googol." The website was never meant to go beyond my personal use, and I gradually drifted away from it. Fifteen years later, it has grown to tens of thousands of articles and a community of hundreds of active users.

Haywire Frontier is a 40-minute musical tribute to a strange corner of amateur mathematics whose growth I somewhat-inadvertently catalyzed, with rhythmic and formal material deriving from Georg Cantor's "ordinal number" system, integral to the study of large numbers.

The album was sequenced and synthesized entirely in SuperCollider with no samples, external hardware, or third-party plugins.

as a fan of generative art myself, fields is one of my fav artists of all time. have listened to everything he has output (including his 24hr seminal masterpiece fieldOS). his process and technique for making very meaningful random generative music makes each listen all the more intriguing and inspiring. offthesky
