This is a piece with no tonal scale, no harmony, no melody, no time signature, no rhythm. It's a pure noise collage. It started as an experiment to try out many of the Surge XT Effects modules that I had rarely or, in most cases, even never used before: Rotary Speaker, Neuron, Chow, Bonsai, Frequency Shifter, Ring Modulator, Vocoder, Resonator, Combulator, Exciter, TreeMonster, Tuned Delay, Spring Reverb, Nimbus, and WaveShaper.

These modules are applied to twelve voices with a lot of modulation to create or modify different and varying noises. The sound generating oscillators in the patch are Surge XT Twist VCO, Alias VCO and S&H Noise VCO, Sapphire PolyNucleus and Elastika, Sanguine Anuli and Funes, Venom Benjolin Oscillator, Befaco Noise Plethora, and DanT MOAR COWBELL! - all modules that provide a good foundation for such a collage of noises.

The voices are randomly faded in and out in an overall arc that starts with few voices, adds more and more until all twelve voices play together for a few minutes, before the number of active voices is reduced again step by step.
