chorégraphie explores the algorithmic characteristics of recursion in audiovisual form.

The algorithm performs a recursive split. At each split stage, space is divided into four different sized quadrants. Each split stage will eventually spawn an oscillator or a synthesizer representing the current properties of recursion in sound. The process is recursively repeated until a maximum recursion depth is reached or an early return condition is met.
Additionally, an initial motion funnction is randomly selected and propageted through the recursion, so that each recursive split stage with move depending on it’s split properties in combination with time.
