Sonic Shuffle The App Release is not just an album, but an interactive application; a composing and remixing tool where each composition can be endlessly transformed by the listener’s actions and choices or through algorithmic automation or a combination of both.

Short description:

- a 48 member laptop/electro-acoustic orchestra
- User’s real-time orchestration and conduction
- User may create endless variations of the score and performances, providing a virtually infinite number of listening experiences
- User may also simply lie back, relax and listen, running the application without interference
- Opera Aperta (Open Artwork): users can incorporate their own sound files into the application

The special limited edition packaging includes:

- Hard PVC box lined with foam to contain the specially designed memory card
- A numbered (1 to 100/100), uniquely designed USB 2.0 memory card
- Special Booklet containing the composer’s words about the piece, complete performers list, graphic score and detailed instructions for the conduction and performance of the piece as well as the application’s installation and use.

Unlike traditional, fixed formats (CD, DVD, digital download), this application offers the possibility of an endless numbers of versions, new and original at each performance. The listener may also listen without otherwise participating, hearing the work as originally manifested, allowing the application itself to determine the orchestration of the score.
For the more radical and experimental sonic adventurers, the application allows extreme customization up to and including the ability for the user to introduce sound files (or any kind of audio recording) of his or her own, in combination with the embedded ones or supplanting them!
