My piece is a stereo fixed media composition whose source material consists largely of foley/field recordings,synthesized sounds using my collection of software and hardware synthesizers,and samples harvested from various internet sources (like plugins and popular video streaming services) as well as a few obscure and forgotten vinyl records.I used a software that categorizes the audio samples within a corpus across a grid by timbre, enabling me to scan through the samples by clicking and dragging my mouse. I recorded these improvised sessions and intuitively time-stretched, spliced, transposed, organized, and layered these sounds to form much of the piece.  

The constantly shifting sonic landscapes coupled with the largely found-sound materials are a gentle reference to the title. I was inspired to sardonically adopt “Choose your identity provider” as the title of the piece when I observed it being used as a prompt one might see on a website that provides a service. For me, it inadvertently summarized the constant psychological battle we’re in with our technology which I fear is eroding our abilities to express ourselves, resolve interpersonal conflicts,and many other issues.
